Post Forward Control Kit for Streetbob 2020 fxbb

Hello, I have a new streetbob 2020 fxbb
My legs are long and I want to move the Forward Control
I have 3 problems:
1. The original Forward Control 50700060 is out of stock and has heard from many others that this product has a brake pedal problem.
2. Can you recommend or share any other adapters for me?
3. Is there a way to increase the rear wheel size like the image below?

Thank you for everything

thanks

Never heard of a brake pedal problem with the forward control kit for the 18+ soft tail.

Ive had the black kit on order for 3 months. Harley says 36 week back order, but their website says “ships in 2 weeks”

ive been looking at the thinderbike forward control set but its like $1k.

Harley Davidson needs to get their heads out of their asses.

Fitting a wider rear wheel to a Street Bob was covered very well here,

No problem at all with oem forwards brake pedal,


I have ŕ 170/70 Shinko on 4,5" rim , if you measure this after mounting with a caliper, that gives exactly 175 width.

This setup can be done without any other modification. I even have air suspension and can ride on the lowest setting without the tire touching the inside of the fender.


Compare between stock rim 16x3" and 16x4,5"



170 Shinko installed



Different positions, even the lowest position can be driven
