Default DK Customs 2" Forward Control Ext. - Licks 8" Bars

Just finished up installing both on my 2015 Forty Eight. The installs were simple
and both turned out great. I did purchase a 6" longer brake cable from Magnum Shielding. The bars come already dimpled and knurled (sorry for the poor pics I took them at work).

So how are you liking the 2" forward extension? I've been thinking of doing this but not entirely sure just yet. Nice bike!

Great mods!

If you're liking the extended forwards as much as I am, I know you're happy.

How do you find the rear brake working for you since its not moved fwd too?
I have DK's Slip Stream trap pegs which are already a little forward of stock and it looks like If I add the extension then my foot might be hitting the brake pad in the arch of my foot.
Not that I use the rear much anyway

I actually removed the brake rod, cut it down and re-drilled to position the rear brake lever where I wanted it. No issues with rubbing or hitting anything.
