Default Custom Control Extensions
I've been wanting to get extensions for my forward controls for a while now and I finally did it. But they are completely custom done. Not just your run of the mill bolt on extensions. Took me a couple days to make them just the way I wanted but after it was all said and done I got the two inches of extension that I wanted and the controls look like they came from the factory that way. Tell me what you think

Looks factory. How did you make them? and would this be something you'd be willing to make a few of and sell them on the forums?

I cut and shaped a 4.5 by 2.5 inch by 1/2" thick piece of steal and welded the factory controls to the plates i made. Then filled in the factory holes on the controls with weld to make it one solid piece and look as such. I did this on a trip up to my dads shop in WA so its not something I can readily recreate. But if you have a welder, grinder, chop saw and a couple days its not to difficult to do yourself. Id be happy to answer any questions you have though.
