New forward controls!!
New accutronix 3" extended. Replacing the "brand x" made in china controls purchased from Demon Cycle. As you can see the difference in quality. I like the look of the DC controls, especially the left side bracket and the brake arm, but quality was questionable as you'll see...
Accutronix on the right.
The pegs on the DC controls are adjusted at the right angle. As you can see, the pegs slant down towards the ground when extended.. not good when your riding and your feet slowly slip off. The pegs aren't long enough to stop against the clevis.
The accutronix look and feel stout, and come with all the hardware necessary to mount, pegs included. (except a longer brake line)
If anyone wants my +2" DC controls, make me an offer. Fits 00-07 softails.

G'day Mate- I was just wondering how tall or long in the legs you are to need 3 inch over fwd controls. I am 6'4" and definitiely need the extended controls on the Deuce just unsure what size would be appropriate for me. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm about 6'4" as well, and also have a Deuce. From what I've been told and what I've read on the boards, +3" controls should be a perfect for me. I'm sure further extended controls would increase comfort, but options are limited and even more costly... they also throw the look of the bike off in my opinion.
