Don't know about the 2" but I installed the ness 3 inch extensions over a year ago. It was an easy job. They came with an extended brake line and the kickstand moves forward with everything else. To make brake bleeding easier get a set of speed bleeders or a mityvac.
Did mine, 3" also no brake bleeding involved. Came with extension rod (I have a frame mounted master cylinder). You will need a bike jack or a way to tie your bike off so it don't fall over, as you will be removing the jiffy stand.
Also don't forget toe locktight. You might need a new shift peg mine was red locktighted on and I snapped the bolt. Only took me an hour.
This is not the kit,thees are new full contols and pegs and shifter peg,i already got the longer shifter rod,and its a new brake res.you guys had the plate kit..so im still in guestion,but thanks anyways

i see you went with the rear k stand,did you have to drill and tapthe frame?
There is a Ness rear stand that mounts right up to the holes already in the frame on the left side. Opposite the exhaust mounts on the right. Since the master cylinder has the side output, the stock brakeline may work. The swap is very easy and so is bleeding the brake. Don't let a mech tell you it's a 3 hour job.....

you should know..lol...yea i found a nice 11 inch 3 hole plate that will go right over the conrols ,easyer than drilling and tapping a rear mount,,demon cycle $ 69..the ness is almost what i paid ray for the contols,,lol....i figure if all goes good 1hour,thats if i can use the brake line,if i take the frame clips off i will have some slack

so the extended brake line goes from the resivor to where?
