Look forward to some pics.

yea, not much movement in my shocks, with the gel pad and coils, much better ride, will see how stiff the coils are compared to hairpins

The Reduced Reach forward control kit is 50700005 and ~$143.00 from boardtracker.

Drag Specialties may also have a reduced reach forwards kit, but I didn't search for them...

Take note that most of them do not fit with the V&H Short Shots.

These should work, Kuryakyn, can move them 2" forward, backward, up or down, should clear the exhaust and have the extension that came with the Short shots to bring the right side out
