I have an 06 sb and put the kury fowards on and they are very easy to put on although I did not take the primary off and remove the shaft. I am only 5'6" and they are very comfortable much better than the mids.

Here is a link to another thread that has a photo of my bike with the forward controls. It's a 08 model but that should not matter.

I bought the Harley controls and installed them myself in my shop at home. I had a service manual and followed the Harley instructions. It was pretty easy for me but I have a shop full of specialty tools, many of which would be required if you follow Harley's directions which requires removing the outer and inner primary. Others here have done it without removing the primary case but I like doing things the hard way!

EDIT: I see you have highway pegs. Maybe we can work something out trade wise with my forwards! Let me know.

I have fowards on my 06 bob. They are kuryakyn with stirrups. Wouldn't be able to ride without the stirrups. Pretty comfy for around town riding, but highway, it kills me. So I put on some mid mount pegs and now its very comfy!

Here's some info below on installing the Harley Davidson forward controls.

The 2006 and up kit instructions requires you to remove the primary to install a longer rear transmission shift lever and to remove the original shifter shaft that goes through the primary cover. Both can be done without removing the primary.
I installed the 2005 kit (P/N 49080-03A)with a longer 2006 custom polished stainless steel shift rod (P/N 33815-06)that comes with the stronger heim joints (they won't break like the original joints). You have to use a longer shift rod with the 2005 kit other wise the front shift lever will hit the primary when you up shift. The custom shift rods are a lot nicer then the cadmium plated shift rod in the kit and the original that came with the bike.
Removing the original shift shaft lever
Get a hacksaw blade and tape each end with duct tape, leaving about two inches exposed in the middle. Also put some duct tape on the primary and cylinder cooling fins. Tape a wrench on one end to get a better grip (on the end of the blade so as you pull on the wrench you will be on the cutting stroke of the blade). Slip the blade between the primary and engine from the bottom of the bike with the wrench end on the bottom. Position the shaft so you can cut about a quarter inch from the lever (not in the welded area). Use your other hand to guide the top of the blade as you cut. After cutting through, the shaft will slide right out, and the lever will just fall to the floor.
Cover for the original shift shaft lever hole
I used a chrome carriage bolt http://www.chromebolt.com/51618-x-134-chrome-carriage-bolt-p-845.html, and put a two inch piece of rubber hose on the threads then added some shrink sleeving on the hose to get a nice snug press fit into the empty shaft hole. If you have a black primary: Paint a unplated carriage bolt. Aluminum cover: Scotch brite a chrome carriage bolt.
Installing the new rear trans shift lever

(Don't do it, leave in the original) Using the original rear transmission shift arm has two benefits, appearance and performance. The shift rod will sit at a more level position, and you will also have a shorter shift throw.
