Hey guys,

Im about 6ft1, would it be a good idea to get the forward controls on my 09 Train? Im in Iraq and cant get to the bike to kinda estimate what it will be like.

 

Put the Arlen Ness 3 inch extensions on 2 years ago and it's still one of the best additions I've made at 5'11".

 

+1 on the Arlen Ness, I'm 6'2".

 

I also have + 3" controls on my fxstc. I'm 6'2" and it's perfect !!!!

 

Not having forward controls is like driving a column stick. It can be done but it does not compare to state-of-the-art. If you are not going to have the bike modified until you come back take it in and see what feels best. No hurry since you can't ride it until then. Thanks for your service! Ride safe.

 

another for the ness extensions, great addition.

 

Any major difference between the ness and the harley brand besides price?

 

There are many different makes of controls out there, You just need to figure out what reach works best for you and what style you like best and continue that with your grips,pegs, mirrors etc. It's a sickness man.........And money is the cure !!!!
Be safe over there and THANK YOU !!!!!!!

 

Love mine. When I first got them it felt like they were waayyy out there, now they feel great. I'm sure you'll like them. Thanks for your service!

 

To the OP, all Night Trains come with forward controls, so I'm guessing you're asking about forward control extensions? I'm 6'1" and have the Cycle Visions 2" extensions - it's perfect now! This profile pic will give you an idea how much 2" moves them:


RE the Harley ones, they are complete replacement units (no extension plates)... thus why they cost so much more.
