Default Extended Reach Forward Control

Greetings Everyone,
I have recently got the HD Extended Reach Forward Control installed on my my 2016 48 and I am quite disappointed that HD did not include in its kit a matching gear shift lever. I am now left with the original black lever on the left and a new chrome brake lever on the right like this :

So I am looking to replace either one to have everything in the same colour. I guess the easiest would be to find a chrome gear shift lever to replace the original black one. Anyone else has installed that kit and found an aesthetically pleasing replacement part ?

Thx.
S.

So I broke down the kit # and it seems that that brake pedal is the stock part # for several Dyna's with forward controls

So, you could probably replace it with an accessory pedal for a Dyna, or take it to the powdercoater

Don't have long enough legs to need this upgrade. BUT not surprised HD does not provide the stuff for the left side/shifter. Most HD stuff less pegs and grips and mirrors are separates. I've found levers are all separate as some folks may not want to do both sides of the bike.

Lever does look nice and hope it works as you thought as this stuff ain't cheap.

GOOD LUCK and ride safe!
