Soni just got a 2020 Iron1200. I really do not like the mid controls and wanna do the forwards asap. Can I not just bye the extention rods and move them forward rather that buying all new mounts and pegs?

Sold my forward controls on eBay as soon as I got the bike . I got Ł70 and bought some mid controls for Ł65 or thereabouts. Horrible things and completely wrong on a Roadster.
