They make extended controls in I believe 2 or 3 inches, but they are very pricey. Here is a link though, a member fabricated a 5 inch extension and enclosed all the plans. https://www.hdforums.com/m_1856072/tm.htm. I had the same problem but just went with crash bar pegs to stretch out a bit. Good luck.

Ths stock nightster seat is as much to blame as anything. A stighly taller seat hight and a little further back would make a huge difference.

RE: Forward controls too short
There is a member here that does excellent custom work at an even better price. Several members have had him build stuff for them and all have been pleased with the work and price. I have had him spec out making me extended forwards and he said it is doable. He would make extended shifter and brake linkages/rods and a custom mount that your stock pegs will bolt right on to. His user name is Shoptroll, send him a pm. P.S. I am just waiting until after christmas to have him make mine so I don't have any pics or a solid dollar amount, but his initial quote was half what the ones you can get from the catalogs run.

Yeah but we gotta have the "cool" factor on our Nightsters. Kuryakn makes 2 different types of highway pegs. One will bolt on to the forward controls and one is a bar that bolts to the front of the frame. The bar is adjustable as well. I might be adding one of those products to my bike over the winter.

Do you have the link to the ones that bolt onto the forward controls, cause I thinki f you have forward controls on the nightster it is impossible to squeeze in the engine guard for hwy pegs. Please post the links to the ones for the forwardc ontrols, thanks
