Default Forward Control Extensions put on
I bought some used Accutronix extensions on ebay and put them on last night.




I'm 6'2 and here's what I love and hate about them:

Love:I can stretch my legs,Super easy to install and adjust
Hate:My intake rubs against my knee which is uncomfortable,it feels like my boots wanna slide off the pegs at highway speeds. If I had a way to make my right peg a tad bit longer that would solve the intake problem.

I haven't decided if I wanna keep them or not.

Change those pegs to some DK pedals and your feet won't feel like they're slipping off.

They are. I had the same problem you're having with the stock pegs and forward controls (I'm shorter than you), the pedals are perfect for that problem.
