I didnt wanna wait forever for my forwards from the Harley overlords, so i pieced mine together from the used section on Ebay. Parts arent new but still look good and work just as well.

When I placed my order for the forward control kit, the estimated shipping date was 2 weeks....that was 2 months ago. New estimated shipping date is for the middle of June. I no longer get my hopes up. Been waiting on my cruise control for OVER a year now...it was also supposed to be about a 2 week wait.

I'm in the same boat - anyone have a complete list of individual part numbers for the 2020 FXST Forward Controls set (#50700060/61) or suggestions to find this? I checked Ronnies site, but the control set isn't listed for the FXST or FXBB. I'm going to try to piece together from ebay and various harley dealers in my area. Latest backorder date is now out to July 22

Well good news if your looking for them in black. I just ordered these yesterday and got them for $340.00 less than HD was advertising and they will be here next Friday. They also have a make offer button and I offered $178.00 and they countered with $195.00 and free shipping. When I first saw them I was surprised they are exactly like the HD parts in every detail. Here is the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/403468753049

I could not find the chrome kit which I wanted as they have the better brake pedal. But I have plans to modify the black one and we will see how it works out. I am also looking for the contrast cut wheels for my wife's 2020 FXST but they are Nationally backordered till November I have been told. Good luck on your project.

Thanks Sarge - I saw the same on ebay just now - they do look identical to the OEM set. I'm thinking replacement of the brake and maybe the clutch lever as well, but for the love of god - just need to do something soon about those $#@%$&! mids! thanks again for the reply!
