Default 2012 Fat Bob - Move rear master cylinder from rear to forward control mount?

Hey guys,

I have a 2012 HD Fat Bob and looking to upgrade my forward controls. Is it possible to install new forwards that have the rear brake master cylinder mounted on the forward controls themselves? Is there some kind of kit that'll allow this relocation of the master cylinder?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Nobody knows if this is possible or not?

I think you'd have to go aftermarket. .Performance Machine, Jaybrake, etc

These look to be on a Dyna:

Not cheap either, but I like them a lot more than the HD setup. Fully adjustable due to the relocation of the M/C (ie no brake rod limiting adjustment amount). My friend has similar on a softail and I've always liked the way they look.

It's do-able, just not cheap. I looked at doing the same thing, and I have forwards that are extended three inches, but never really liked the push rod.
You have to get new forward controls and hoses, better coming from mids cause you have to start from scratch anyways.

Thanks guys, yea I already have the new extended forwards for it. Just curious what else was needed to eliminate the rear master cylinder, since the new forwards will have it attached to them? I'm thinking there's probably some new hoses that would be needed, just not sure if there's other items needed or not?
I have basically the same forwards that mattVA posted above.
