anyone know if they will fit with the engine guard?

I have no idea whether the decorative-only Suzuki engine guard interferes or not. I have the Wingerline Highwaybar installed and I got a 5" set from Ed that arrived late last week. I purchased the necessary nuts/bolts/washers over the weekend and hopefully I'll get a chance to try installing them in the next few weeks.

The plates move the pedals forward but not up so if the stock guard sits above the stock pedal location then I would think everything would fit.
Just got some feedback from Eanon, he had a little trouble with the kickstand spring binding on the left side plate but was able to clean it up with a dremel. There was also a little extra metal on the right side that got in the way of the exhaust header. If anybody has simular problems please let me know, Ill do what I can to make it right. Wink

Reply #19 - 03/10/08 at 16:42:34 Well after some slight modifications and a week out with the flu, I finally got my forward controls on the bike! The little test drive I took felt great! I love the new riding position! Thanks Ed!

Reply #21 - 04/06/08 at 11:22:25 Hi, I am only 5'6'' but would really like a set of these when I can come up with the fundage. Two questions: Is anyone other then myself vertically challenged and if so what size would you recommend? Are these still being made and if so will they continue to be made for a while? Thanks ~Strafford~

Yeah, I'm still making them anywhere from 2 1/2 inch out to 5 inch extensions. I would think a 3 inch extension would be as far as you would want to go. Sit on the bike and see where you feet feel comfortable out in front of the pedals. I'm getting ready to start another batch so shoot me a PM if you are interested in a shorter set. Thanks

Also I was thinking about getting a drag bar conversion, would the drag bar make me need even larger extensions on the controls?

I didn't notice any information about preferred payment. I notice in the description of your bike you list an oil cooler. I'm in Central Texas and it gets plenty hot here. Can you provide some additional info on that? Thanks, CollyK
