Default Softails with extended forwards

I thought I read on here that if you had forwards with extensions that you could run a shifter linkage made for a dyna with forward controls. Anyone know if this is correct or am I imagining having read that?

This is a question for Mr. Lucky. I am sure he'll be along in a bit. I can't remember what he used.

I re-tried the search, wording it differently. I found Mr. Lucky's post, a dyna linkage will work....

Toughlinks will custom make what you need. Mine is (from memory) 4-1/2" over.

You guys running forward extensions, any difference in clearance. Pegs more likely to scrape?
