Default Forward control extensions

Hi all, I'm wanting to move my forward controls about 2 inches forward but I can't seem to find anything on the internet. I did see the thread about the home made relocation but I can't get any of the attachments to work. Does anybody know where else I can look?

I bought mine from a guy on these forums. Highly recommended for both quality and customer satifsfaction. Not sure if he has anymore, but here's the thread:

This is the mod I did:

I used the mod from nevets61 at:

I did not see a reference as to the year of your sporty. If it is '4 of later and have V&H shortshots/sideshots these will work.

I really enjoy the extra legroom on mine. Feel like I have a Jr WideGlide.
