Default forward control extensions
I had the board swapped to forward controls on my cross bones, but I could ude a little more room. I have seen several kits to move them forward. The Ness, Drag Specialties, and a few others. What are the better ones to use?

Cycle Visions makes a good kit too - available in 2" and 3" extension. Unlike the Ness, it's black powder coat (to match your frame), not black anodize.
