Can you give me an opinnion on whether or not to do this? I have an 05 fat boy and I also have pm forward controls which I purchased sometime back. I'm just not sure whether they look right on a fat boy. Also I'm 5' 8" so it would strictly be a look thing for me. Anyone have them on a fat boy?

 

Geez, look I'm 6'3" and I have my doubts on purchasing the Kuryakyn kit which is 3" extended.

Good luck on your mod.

Regards.

 

I just put them on mine they look good it is a nicer ride since I have drag bars with an 8"pullback it make it more comfortable to strech out.

 

I was too cheap (yeah yeah as usual) and did cruise arms instead.
I've seen forwards on fatboys.. I think they look pretty darn cool actually.

If you've already done the hard thing and forked over the cash for a set, I say DO IT! And I wanna see pics!

Hey, here would be a great opportunity to create a DIY thread on the installation.. swapping out floorboards to go with forwards.

 

It is not a lot of work just some trial and error stuff with the kick stand it uses a whole new mounting system.

 

Are the factory controls considered foward or mid controls.

 

If you got em do it...Or sell them on ebay or here on the forum to one of the naysayers...

 

Here's a couple of pics for ya I got these off the Hogpro bike gallery. One with cruise arms and one with forwards. They both look good to me.

I'm 5'11" and put the Kuryakyn 3" extended forward controls on my fat boy. I love them.

 

I say go for it. They look cool and the ride is just as comfortable IMO. Put a set on my Springer Classic. Kinda of the same deal as the fat boy as far as looks go.
