Default Forward Control ?

A guy I ride with has a '06 1200C, he's looking for some leg room and has asked me to fab. him some extensions. Before I make anything from scratch I thought I'd check and see if anybody has done it or knows where to buy extensions. I did a search and didn't come up with much. Thanks for any info.

Thanks, for the effort Jmerr. Finding new forwards isn't an issue, even extended forwards are readily available. We are looking to build or buy new brackets which will extend the stock forwards.

The closest I have seen is in Dennis Kirk or Kuryakan. They are extended foot peg brackets. They come in 2" or 4" versions and swivel 360Degrees. They don't actually extend the shifter or brake, but they do extend your foot position, they work pretty well and are only about 60 bucks. Sorry, but I am computer illiterate, I looked on both sites and found them but don't know how to post a link.
