Hello,

looking at having a dealership supply and fit the new reduced length forward controls onto my bob. Some feedback on these controls would help me decide which way to go.

cheers, muddy.

Muddy, should be pretty easy descision brother.... You can either reach them or you cant....

Just finished frucking around fitting a set of these on the Fat Bob.

Easy enough to fit but next to no adjustment now with the brake peddle unfortunatley & I reckon if I stand on the rear brake the brake rod will jam into the OEM headers?

Anyone else fitted these?

hi mate ive also just fitted these to my 2008 cvo dyna as i have vance and hines big radius the brake rod wasnt a issue the only problem i have is my frame is red and the factory forwrd controls are chrome while the relocator kit is black ive also fitted the screamin eagle heavy breather so i can get my leg pass the bulky factory one
hope this helps

Fitted these to my 2010 FXDWG - took about an hour then a couple of test rides to get the brake and shifter adjusted - easy to fit, plenty of adjustment, bike now more comfortable to ride

Um are these forward controls for short people? Can someone post a pic please.

 They are about an inch or so closer to the rider than the standard forwards.  

You can get the full kit, if you currently have mid mounts:

Or a conversion of you currently have 'standard' forwards:

I stand corrected.

Considering buying a set myself for the StreetBob, the adjustment issue for the brakes is a worry though. Surely it cant be that bad? Maybe I get them and modify them to be a better install. What are people thoughts now they've had them for a while?

Like I said before
"Fitted these to my 2010 FXDWG - took about an hour then a couple of test rides to get the brake and shifter adjusted - easy to fit, plenty of adjustment, bike now more comfortable to ride"
I have stock headers and there is no interference. The kit is comprehensive - even the brake foot peg is aligned so it folds back at the same angle.
Both footpegs are relocated 1" towards the rider.
Part number is 50700005 - mine cost about $200

Reduced Reach Forward Control Conversion Kit - Dyna®

Love the look and riding position you get with forward controls but not comfortable with the long stretch forward? This Forward Control Conversion Kit repositions the Original Equipment footpegs and foot controls up and back by over 1", positioning the controls closer to the rider for added comfort and confidence. The reduced reach places the rider's boot at the proper pivot point for improved leverage, while maintaining the "foot-forward" riding profile. This easy-to-install Conversion Kit includes heavy-duty steel mounts and shortened brake rod and re-uses Original Equipment control supports and brake and shift levers, or can be personalized with your choice of custom lever styles.
