    hey guys,

    havent been here much lately, this time of the year there just seems to be no time at all to do anything... been away a bit to my old man is crook up in adelaide anyway fitted some forwards a few weeks ago and man im just loving my bike all over again. i was getting cramped up in the hips before, got quite long legs and now very comfy. they say that you have better control with the mids for when u are throwing the bike around abit but i reckon im riding harder now with the forwards.

    any way cheers guys, back off to adelaide early sat so not much riding this weekend for me :(

    catch yas

    What forwards did ya fit Daggs?  And how did the install go

    I'm thinking about either highway pegs or going with the forwards

    just the std harley ones, same as what comes on the wide glide, piss easy install just made up a stainless cover for the spline on the old gearshift shaft, i will pull the primary apart and remove the shaft once warranty period is over. I'll post some pics if you want when i get time but it won't be until mid week next week, flat out and away all weekend.
    I made up some highway pegs first but wasnt happy with the look(too many pegs everywhere) or the idea that you have to move your feet back to the mid pegs to use the brake and gear shift.
    With the forwards out on the open road you can rest the bottom of yr heels on the pegs to stretch out even further

    i put some forwards on my 08 bob a few weeks back also, bloody unreal.
    i went with the HD forwards also got them in from the sates for about $275 US. bloody easy to install took about an hour!
    definately worth it
