After trying to re- install my yamaha highway bars ,I would have to bend them or make an extention somehow. So I am selling the bars instead.1/4 inch difference would have fit.
The extended foward controls are just to darn comfortable not to use. the advantages of the extended foward controls are =
1. now when I put my legs down at a stop my legs go striaght down to the ground , no spreading them over the floorboards. very nice.
2. My brake and shifter pedals are in front of my feet now also very very nice. I am 6ft.
3. the floorbards now have a slight upward slope at the front of the boards, which makes the riding posistion nicer, eliminating the need for my highway bars and foot pegs,.
4. I would also think a little more ground clearance is achived ,as the front of the boards are now higher?
If someone makes a straight horizontal highway bar it woud work with the extended foward controls as the yamaha ones lack a 1/4 inch clearence at the bottom area where they bolt onto the bike.
Very Happy with the extended foward controls. hywman/mike |
