i've got the harley forward controls on my 1200R. They're not far enough for me, i'd like them out another 2-3", but much better than the mids that came stock.

Had forwards on my last two softails, very sweet. Had to redrill the bracket to mount them a tad closer for my enormous stature of 5'6". Could not find any hardware out there to bring them closer,, only hardware to extend them.

Just installed my black harley forwards on my nightster, and I wonder why the heck that wasn't my first mod!

Just put on the forward controls on my Nightster. Wasen't to bad the front exhaust must come off. Also direction seems azz backwards for me & buddy trying to read them. Very satisfied with the fit and Quality having a rainy day so couldn't go for a ride ,but the garage test seems great my legs are stretched just right & i'm only 5 ft 6 .

Got my forward controls, easy install, and the look great. They took forever to get here. Got hem off of ebay and the seller posted should recieve within 6 business days took 12. Now the seller is whining because I gave them a negative feedback.
