Default Extended Controls

Does anyone know if the aftermarket makes any controls for the Sportster that are extended beyond the normal forward controls? Being 6'3', I think I would like to stretch out alittle bit more.

Don't know if I can be much help... but they use to sell them on ebay...

They were suppose to be 2" more forward than forward controls... chrome mounts, shifter, brake along with all the linkage...

About they only help I can offer is to tell you to do a search on ebay...

I know a couple of guys on the forum got them...

Hey Ice Rider, I am the same height, and thought about doing the same thing. I didn't really feel like spending the 300-400 on the extended controls. I threw a crash bar with some pegs on and saved myself some cash. My bike already came with the regular forwards. Just my opinion, but I am glad I went that route because I can still change my leg position on the the long hauls, I am not stuck now with no relief.

They also have just a highway peg bar and dependingwhat angle you mount it you can adjust the distance the pegs move forward...

I had the same problem and I found these 4" extended controls on Ebay made by a company called Marcustom. I'm 6'2" and they really give the bike a laid back ride, I don't know how I rode for so long with out them, hope that helps.
