Review:
Bottom Line: Excellent Product, Greatly improved riding comfort and stability. I highly recommend the ScootMods Kit for any rider who would like to extend their legs our further while riding their Motorcycle. Without a doubt the best improvement I have made to my Bike.

Being 6'5" with a 36" inseam soon after purchasing my Honda Shadow Aero VT750 realized I was a bit tall for the bike. I heard of forward control extensions online and looked into getting them. The ScootMods kept coming up on Motorcycle forums and people were saying good things about them and recommending them so I finally got the Kit and installed it on 10-3-12.
Installation took about an Hour and 30 minutes total.
The Kit is designed so you can keep your Stock Honda Footpegs or you can use Aftermarket footpegs or adjustable Floorboards. In my case I installed the kit keeping my Kuryakyn 4351 Premium Floorboards and liked the fact that you keep the Honda stock footpeg mounting brackets and the strength built into them.
The Kit quality I would give the highest rating, it uses heavy gauge aluminum plate
which does not Flex at all and leaves your bike feeling just as sturdy as the original Honda design. I liked my bike a lot before installing this kit but now I Love my Bike
it fits me like a custom made glove. The price of the Kit was lower than the other kits I have seen yet the quality looked to be much better that other kits available for my bike.

I highly recommend the ScootMods Forward Control Extensions kit for anyone who would like make their Motorcycle more comfortable to ride.
When installed, this ScootMods Kit allows the rider to extend their legs out further, lowers their knee position and provides a much more enjoyable riding experience.

Correction to the Review of the ScootMods Forward Control Extensions

I stated that the brackets were made of "Aluminum plate" which is not true.

The extension brackets are CNC laser cut out from cold rolled steel and painted back to match the bikes Frame color.

I'm actually about to pull the trigger on these same ones. I'm 6'2" with some long legs and now my knees are almost 90. I feel cramped and a newer bigger bike is out of the question. So ill be adding these real soon.

I have the 4" extensions on my bike. Love them. Im 6' w/a 32" inseam and they work nicely. I still find my self putting my heals on the pegs, I think cause I have a size 13 feet and riding with the balls of my feet on the pegs feels weird and I hit the road with my heals in turns. Even before I lowered the bike.

Ok I just got done doing the right side (exhaust side). Question do I need a sealant for the exhaust because it looked like there was some rubber like substance when I removed the pipes? I know for cars it's a gasket, but these slip INTO the cylinders. Any thoughts?

Does he need to replace it? I'm getting ready to remove the pipes on my 06 VLX for some maintenance so I'd like to know too

Yes. Always replace the crush gaskets.

What does this gasket look like?? Is it paper? I bought gaskets online (eBay) and think I got the wrong thing Bc they are metal rings....and I didn't see anything like that when I removed my exhaust.
