Default Ness forward control extensions

Anyone using these found on ebay for about $150? They are black and move the stock controls forward about 3". Currently, I throw my feet over the pegs for the highway, not sure I would still be able to with the extensions. The options for two positions is nice.

This kit's at the top of my wish list. Everyone that gets it says they wish they would have made it one of their first mods.

Like you, when I'm on the interstate I stretch my legs out and rest the backs of my heels on the pegs. I feel like my legs are long enough to still be able to do that with this kit.

Generally speaking though, from what I've heard, you won't regret adding it.

I have the Arlen Ness extensions. Absolutely love them and recommend them. I am 6'4 though so it is a must for anyone over 6'1 in my opinion.

A pic from the side would be very helpful to see the relationship from the frame down tube to the peg position. Thanks for the replies.

very sturdy and looks like it came from the factory. hardest part of the install is bleeding the rear brake line, which isn't too bad.
