Default Anyone still making forward control extenions for nightsters?

At the risk of starting a whole thread about this, I have seen multiple discussions about FWD control extensions that are made by some HD forum members. Does anyone know where I can get some? Looking for a three inch extension for a 2008 Nightster. Thanks in advance.

Im currently in the process of designing some. I will post up when I have the first set made. Mine wont be extension plates though. Mine are going to be complete FWD control sets.

I installed a set of 6" extensions from Accutronix on my Iron and I love them. They may be able to fab some 3" extensions.

The Accutronix ones look identical to what I have machined lol except theirs sit higher than mine.

Drag Specialties makes a set (in black) that I'm putting on mine very soon. There's also the ones HD makes.

I have the HD forward controls and they SUCK for tall people. The drag specialties are the same exact thing. Were talking EXTENDED forward controls.

venomized: ah, I see what you're saying. I'm not tall at all, only 5'7, and I hated the mid controls with a passion. I can only imagine how taller people feel... but then at 5'7 that's always been the story of my life!
