Default Arlen ness 3" control extension

For Anyone who is thinking about getting them or feel they are too small for their scoot....

These things are very much worth it, I have had mine sitting in the shop for probably 6 months and never got around to installing them, actually forgot about them till the other day till i was cleaning my shop out...
Finally got a day off and put them on, I'm 6'4" and it made my train 10x more comfortable to ride, my legs feel so much better and it actually helped my back out
Quick and very easy install made it more worth the while. They are awesome

I agree, it's a much more comfortable ride with them.

I like mine as well although the rear brake line is sucking air and I have to bleed the line weekly. Anyone else have this problem and what was the fix? All the connections are tight and I installed a speed bleeder.

Installed mine about 6 months ago. Makes the riding position way more comfy. Not as garish as the forwards offered by Harley.
