Does anyone know if there is an option for a set of forward controls with reduced reach for the Breakout?? There is the reduced reach seat but I need to know about the controls too. I had reduced reach forward controls on my Street Bob and these really helped me out.
I am a some 5ft 7in and altough I ride ok it would be much more easy for a 1inch closer??
Does any of you who is my height have this problem or has this part?
Thanks for your help...

A couple of options - The home made plates look easy enough ~ And JP cycle is still offers their "Kick Back" plates - jc

 

Thanks jcsshane that was so useful

 

These parts are for Dynas. Will it work for softails?

 

I can't help ya there - Maybe someone here can chime in - But the option of building your own brackets seemed pretty straight forward. Any Help guys?

I'm 5'7", and while I don't have any problems with the foot controls (everybody is proportioned differently - I have a 30" inseam), I really didn't like the stretch to the bars. I tried adding the 1.5" riser spacers, and while they did help, I still wasn't where I wanted to be. I finally broke down and got Harley's mini-ape bars, and Magnum cables. Now THIS has been the best change I've done. The bars are back further, and only about 6-7" higher than the drag bars w/spacers. Not only that, but now the mirrors are wider apart and give an excellent view from both sides.

 

As a side note, if you change the foot pegs to the Breakout, the new ones will decrease your stretch by 1/2-1" because replacements don't have the drop-down the originals have. Additionally, replacements will let you corner harder before you scrape the ends - something that's definitely needed on the Breakout.

 

Furry, I'm new to this and I read your comment about changing out the original foot pegs with replacement ones. That will help with the reduced reach on the breakout? What about the foot controls? Is there a kick back plate from a different bike that will adapt to the breakout frame?

 

I could not find any solution to the reduced reach issue on the Breakout and was told there was nothing on the market at this time. So I ended up buying the 2014 Fat Boy Lo. It was much more comfortable for my short legs.
