Well , after running cafe style on the Bonnie-A for several years I've descided to go the other extreme and move the origional foot position forward about 3-4 inches. I'm 6"1" so the little move should make it a "scoch" more comfy...? am doing this in the "skunk-works" so who knows how it will turn out.... pics to follow barring any thermo-nuclear melt down !

Dan, search for what WildMike did to his controls if you want an idea to start
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Basically what he did...if I remember right...was:
1. take off forward controls/brake bracket
2. cut off the mounts on the bracket and weld to the other side so the bend in the controls bracket bends in front of the header pipes instead of behind.
3. lenghten the shift rod by welding in a piece of rod in the middle so you can reuse the threaded sides(one side is reverse thread).
