Ness-Tech 3" Forward Control Extention Kit
Anyone have the Ness-Tech 3" Forward Control Extention Kit on their softail? If so how is the quality? How does the kickstand fit when in the up position?

RE: Ness-Tech 3" Forward Control Extention Kit
I have 'em on my bike. First I used them with forwards controls. Now I went back to floorboards and just left them on there and they work fine in moving the boards forward as well. Nice to have the extra legroom. The quality of the kit is good. No complaints. The kickstand stays mounted to your original controls and moves forward as well. The extensions are pre-drilled for the return spring. The only "issue" is that you will probably need a rubber stopper underneath your primary or on your stand as the stand will make metal to metal contact after being moved forward.
And like everything else in the bike world they are way overpriced for what you actually get. But they work and I'm glad I can stretch out a little more.

I bought my Night Train with the extensions on it, and didn't realize it until much later, when I sat on a stocker at the dealer! I'm 6 feet, with long legs, and felt cramped on the stock NT. Went out and looked at mine, and noticed the Ness extensions. I certainly wouldn't give 'em up!
*edit* My kickstand contacts a bolt on the primary. I'm thinking about using my Dremel tool to shave where it hits, and allow the rubber bumper to hit. I just need to eyeball everything before grinding!

Got ot on my 03 train. I'm 6'. Makes big difference. Jiffy stand hits the bottom frame rail, not a problem, just a little longer rubber bump stop from the hardware store.
