I'm considering adding forward controls to my bike, but I have a few questions about them.
1. How big of an effect do they have on the handling of the bike? I'm very comofortable with my bike with the standard controls going through corners .. . would forward controls make sharp corners more difficult?
2. I know that with most parts, the genuine HD parts are the way to go. However, are there any less expensive after market forward control kits for the XL883 that are good? I want one that will allow me to use my Willie G. Skull footpegs and shifter knob, too.
3. How difficult is installation? Should I be able to do it with the right tools, even if I have limited mechanical ability?
Thanks!
