    Hi All

    Just installed a set of forward controls to my 2010 iron on the weekend. Love the feel of them but when cruising at about 120 and above I can really feel a vibration through the pegs.

    I know Harley's vibrate a lot but just wondering if this is considered normal or something to be concerned qabout? 

    Cheers

    Hi MBF,

    I'm not sure if it's normal or not but I can agree with you. mine vibrates quite a bit over 100kph. which makes the longs rides a little less enjoyable......


    cheers

    assuming you've got rubber footpegs on, you're possibly doing what i did at first - trying to take your weight on your legs too much, from riding mid / rear pegs. Slouch down on the seat a bit more, and point your feet, so you're not fighting the wind to keep your feet on the pegs.

    You guys need to get a custom, mine are great on a long trip, ride all day no probs. Seriously I don't get any vibrations on my ride.
