Default Moving floorboards

Is it possible (are kits available) that will move the floorboards and controls forward? I want to move mine forward about 1.5 inches on my 08 Fatboy.

Cyclevisions Go Forward Extensions. Moves boards and controls forward 2". I did it and like it a lot.

They say it won't work with crash bars but mine work fine.

Love the extra room on mine too.

On my Fatboy the stock control brackets with engine guard attachment bolts to the extended Go Forward brackets. Clearance for all parts is fine, the only question is "Will the Go Forward brackets hold if the bike tips over?" I'm not sure and hopefully I will never have to find out.

I have another floorboard related question. I like the distance on mine but I'm not too keen on the angle. Is there a kit to install that allows you to adjust the angle?
