They are cheap as hell avoid them like the plague.
If you buy them your also stuck and limited to thier type of peg since they are inverted standard pegs will not fit.

Must be an isolated experience but the rubberized peg that connects to my foot gear shifter fell off mid ride before my bike hit 2,000 miles. Became very difficult to get out of first gear on the main road I was on at the time. The stock foot controls ain't all that and a bag of chips either...

Default Forward Controls

They don't look good. The brake pedal pad should match the gear selector. Just my opinion.

Custom Chrome used to make the HD forward controls. I bought a set of chrome ones for my '02 Sportster off of E-Bay for $200. Exact same as factory HD controls.

I researched forward controls for my wifes Super Low for over a month. Went with the Harley after seeing other brands at various shops and talking to people that have done the conversions, reading forums etc. HD seemed heavier duty, plus I got them for a good deal from my local shop's online site. The other thing, when installing, use blue loctite on everything. The instructions will tell you that also. If you don't, something will fall off like one member mentioned a few posts ago.
