I have a Virago cruiser to help with arthritis in the hip but would like to extend the foot controls a few inches further forward as I'm told reprofiling of the seat backwards is not an option. Anyone have an idea if such an extension kit exists and if so where available?

Lots of kits available.

Can be had or ordered in from almost any generic parts shop, some dealers, or even off eBay.

Easy to fit - Mostly a swap out job. Takes about an hour or two to do yourself.
