I was just looking at the Ness kit today. It says it comes with an extended stainless steel brake line and a 3" extended shift rod. I just put regular forward controls on mine and realized I screwed up. Now I have to shell out more cash on the 3" extentions. I'm 6' also and the standard forward controls just aren't going to work. Live and learn I guess.

I'm hoping that does the trick or I'll be looking at a tallboy seat or something next because right now I feel like I got in the wifes cage before I move the seat back.

The Ness kit is great and you don't notice it unless you know what you're looking for. The only thing you'll need to buy besides the kit is brake fluid. I have stock controls with the black Ness kit. I'm not 6' and it's a world of difference.
