Default 17' Sportster 48 Front Controls Mod

So just the bike and love it. Very comfortable but would love to have legs extended further toward the front. Would it be a major mod or even possible for a custom shop to move the front controls further toward the front of the bike?

H-D do both extended and shorter reach conversion kits for you. They ain't cheap, but they have you covered! Take a look at the H-D website and the Shop tab.

I have this set from Accutronix in San Diego i think. Goes out 6 inches and fits me perfectly. I am 5'9" with 32 inseam and love them. With a heel and toe shifter I don't have to lift my foot to shift, only press down or up. For brakes I modified lever so it sits right under my toe and i just need to push down without lifting my foot. This is the best mod I've done so far. Cheaper than HD too.

So I just ordered below and it's the same model number as on Accutronix but I'm just concerned as it's about $45 cheaper here on Amazon then their site. Hope I'm getting the same product.
