Default Custom forward control extensions

what up ya'll..new to the forum and far from BF Goodwrench so bear with me please if this is a stupid question. Finally got a harley heritage and can't stay off of it! i'm 6'4" and all legs so i've been researching forward control extensions, all i am seeing is 2 and 3 inch extensions and it seems like i'm going to need plenty more than that. Are there any places out there that make longer extensions? Thanks

not many people require anything that long, not to mention you could run into the issue of your feet hitting the fender at low speed turns and such. have you considered highway pegs?

I have similar issues with my Heritage as I'm 6'4" with a 36" inseam. I installed the Arlen Ness 3" extensions which helped, but this created a new issue with an uncomfortable foot angle that resulted from moving my legs forward but keeping my feet flat. I ended up ditching the floor boards (which I really liked previously) and after a 2000 mile trip last week I didn't experience any of the leg / hip pain I had with the boards on similar long trips. To be fair, I've also added 2" of firm foam to the underside of my stock seat to raise my body up a little, but I did these mods in stages and feel the pegs did more for my comfort than the seat height.
