Forward control extension kit,..HELP!!
Guys,,Im looking to buy a forward control extension kit for my 2005 Night Train.
Im finding it very difficult to see which one to buy. The only one i saw wich appears to be ok is the Kuryakyn 3" extension kit.
I like to ride with my legs more extended than ususal and maybe 3" will be not enought....
I live in Argentina and NO ONE has any of the kits in stock so i have to get them from the online shops in US.
PLEASE!! I need some advise with this issue cuz im afraid to buy something that wont be good later.
Thank You !!!,.....

we could give more advice if we knew how tall you are , I am going to extend my controls as well but I am 5' 10' and worry that 3" might be to much

Saint666,
I just put the Kuryakyn 3" extension on my 05 deuce. I am 6'2" and my legs are extended well forward. Seeing that you are 2" shorter then me, I would think your legs will be extended far enough.

I have the Ness extensions installed on my Springer Classic. See my photo album for some closeup pics. Here's a link to extensions: http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup...rand=arlenness
I'm pretty sure they should fit all softail models with forward controls. Hope this helps.

Both extensions work fine with softails ,...The kkuryakyn ones are $399 and the Ness ones are $189,...
and both of them claim to be 3".So i guess illl have to choose from the 2 of them.
Is it any 4" that u know ?

Take care1,..[sm=thanx.gif]

Might also consider the factory extension kit. I'm 6'2" and put one on my '04 and would never go back. Factory kit is 3" and is a easy swap. Anything more than that 3" and you are starting to get real close to the front wheel and fender.

I have the peformance machine 3" contour forward controls and love the way they look and feel. However being 6'5" I am not completley stretched out. I did have a seat made that was thinner which allowed me to sit a little farther back on the bike, that should help you get the extra inch that you are looking for.
