forward controls

hey,

i was wondering if anybody has used the accutronix forward controls on their bagger? im 6'5" and need a bit more space on my 2009 SG, since with the badlander seat and the floorboards my knees are above the tank a little bit. what have other tall riders done? i am not against fwd controls, im a big fan but i like my boards too.
thanks

I have some just like the accutronix. Im 5'8'' and like them. I think they come in two sizes. +5 and +9. You would need +9. The custom shop put down accutronix forwards for me but I think I might go with boards now. Nothing against the forwards, but not sure how they would be on really long days. And Im 5'8'' and seem a little stretched out. Especially when i get apes.

The Accutronix will not give you any additional legroom in spite of what they say. Been there, done that. Get the AN 2" forward brackets and the Kury 1" forward, 1" out brackets. Add the Softbrake 3" longer brake pedal and 2-1/4" shifter and you have a set up that works
I'm 6'-6" with a 36" inseam.
