Default Extended forward control conversion (2" to 3")

Ride: 2008 FXCWC
I'm 192 cm tall with 36" inseam.

Pictures of the PM coming up shortly...
please someone help me or point me in the right direction...

I recently purchased Contour collection from Performance Machine which was 2" extended compared to the stock forward control. I love PM stuff and that was the reason I went with them.

The problem:
The way PM has built their controls.,the brake pedal & the shift pedal are buried inwards in relation to the rider pegs.
Every time I need to shift or apply brakes I kinda need to dig or I keep searching for them..

Suggestion & Solution:
I feel that I need more than 2" probably 3".
I really don't wanna change the whole system coz I just spent a load of money on the PM contour controls and I like them and would love to keep them.,having said that
Can someone please suggest me a cheapest and best possible alternative route on how to increase the length from 2" to 3".
Can someone suggest me on how to bring the shift pedal and brake pedal outwards so I don't have to keep searching for them
