    look on direct parts

    There are a number of forward controls on this site. I don't know if anyone makes 4" but I do know there are 3" extensions out there.

    I'm 6'6" and have a 2005 1200 XLR...mid controls are uncomfortable and am looking for an extension. Rode a co-workers stock Custom and it proved to be enough relief...would however adjust levers to accommodate the angle of a tall rider. I'm slaved to the USPS for parts so I'm still awaiting delivery of stock forward controls.

    On another note, I picked-up a used seat from someone who upgraded. Will take it down to the local leatherworkers here and see if they can increase the seat height a bit to accommodate my long legs...have heard of Tall Rider stuff in other forums, but have not been able to pin-down any selections that meet my needs. Good luck on your search.

    I got 4" forward control extensions for my evo softail here at Direct Parts, and they're very comfortable (I'm 6'7") and were easy to install. These are not new forward controls themselves but rather extension kits for moving the stock controls forward.
    I've never been able to find full forward control units over 3", but that may be enough to do the job for you.
    That was a long time ago and I don't know if they exist anymore or fit TCs, but I would suggest emailing CD or the sales team here to ask about your options.
