Default Question on forward controls

Does anyone have any pics of themselves riding/sitting with the 3 inch extensions,just wondering how stretched out I would be if I purchased them.I'am about 6 foot,and want to stretch out pretty good,just wondering how much of a difference it would be from the factory forward controls.

I have the 3'' forward extentions for sale in the classifieds.They work great and your shifter and brake pedal fit.They have some rust,I could sand blast them for you,if you want to paint them black.They look better then the kits they sell,these are bolt on's.Not some steel plates with holes in them.
