Wanted to head over to the county rifle range and shoot some but black powder and high humidity just don't mix.

Will install next week, because this side of the state looks to be getting a dry weekend for a change, so I'll be working outside on my property along with Mrs. Sunset Savage's list of honey doos.

Diamond T, For some strange reason I don't have any before and after pictures, hopefully some one will have what you are looking for.
The current pricing still is $150.00 for a four inch set and $160.00 for a five incher. I don't have any ready to ship right now, need to start cutting up a 2x4 foot slab of aluminum for the next batch which is a bit of work.

ED L.,

I just made my final-final adjustments after taking an epic 60 mile ride in the country. Just needed raising the clutch lever and tighten a loosened mirror. Other than that it was A1 perfect.
Until now, I was never comfortable enough to do little more than 20 miles. With 5" extensions it feels just right and like a different model bike. Thank millions.
I thought you should know, I did have to drill out the main mounting holes a bit in order to line the bolts better. Other than that is was an easy install following your directions. I'll send a photo when I can.
Cheers mate.

Forward Controls Reply #517 - 06/16/18 at 13:16:13 Glad it worked out, I'll check my templates and drills for the mounting holes. I try to make those holes tight.

I too have installed a 5" fwd control kit thanks to Ed L. superior craftsmanship, and I really love how it feels going down the road. I'm sure you'll be thank full too.

To the point, I am also interested in installing a crash bar that will still work with the 5" extension kit, BUT one that is bigger than the Suzuki OEM "junior sized" engine guard. Let me know how yours works out.

Well Ed, this will sound dumb... but I want forward controls, I just don't know how to figure out how far forward they should be. I know that the current placement of the controls is fine for sub-50 mile rides, but anything longer becomes a pain in the butt.

Is there a general chart or something I'm missing that will help me size out what I need/want?
