Extended controls installed. Being 6'3" I love the change.

I am only 5'11", but I have a 34" inseam...

I found a set of used black forward controls on eBay for $45, so that made up my mind

I threw some edge-cut pegs (of course had to swap the shifter and break pad) and I think it looks sick.. will post some pics when I get home.

I've had both but I PREFER boards. Found them nicer and more comfortable for me but as stated earlier.... Your bike and riding style. Pick what you like and want and go from there.

I did the same thing, it looks good to me, it is comfortable and like the others have said, it is your bike.
