Message this guy he makes forward control extensions $150 shipped to your door. Sometimes he takes a while to get back to you because he works out of the country at different times of the year. He has sets for the 48, not sure about the 72.

Any black extension kits available? Anyone?

This seems to be a bump of an old thread. I am interested in forward control extensions as well but for an 06 1200 low. Anyone know if Tx is still around?

Try Accutronix. They have some, I got their 6” extensions which let’s me really stretch out. Outstanding quality and fit. US made so pricey but you get what you pay for.

I am 6’ depending on the weather. I purchased and installed the acutronix 6” extension kit today. I rode to the gym and I will give an in depth review/analysis when I get some time. Mixed opinion as of right now.

I'm 5'9" and the 6" overs on my 2016 48 let me stretch out almost straight-legged which is most comfortable position for me. Unless you misjudge how stretched out you like your legs I can't see any drawback to buying them oh unless you say price.

Thanks for your input.I would appreciate your review. Im a little concerned they are so far foward it may look strange, everything on a Harley is always a war of form versus function.
