Default forward controls for dyna low rider S

Anyone install forward controls on a Dyna Low Rider S?. I'm 6'3" and think it might be more comfortable for me.

Lotsa folk do, from those of your stature to shorter fellas like myself, for various reasons. Comfort for a bung leg works for me.

The factory kit does the job properly and with all the parts from go to whoa.
There are other options in between for quick and dirty installs, however, usually you get what you pay for.
Sadly it is expensive to have it done properly with the removal of the inner primary cover.

I recently purchased a set from here on the forums without any hardware and a little less well finished for reasonable money.

I'm 6'1 with some long *** legs and I think the LRS "Foward Mids" are quite comfortable.

The control you have with those mids is unreal, riding through the corners it's leaps and bounds more beneficial.

What might work for you is a crash bar or highway pegs that you can flip out and stretch out on the highway.

By "Forward Mids," you're referring to HD's "Further Forward Mid-Control Kit?" I like that idea in conjunction with highway pegs.


I can't find a Harley Davidson highway peg on the HD website. Does HD make a highway peg kit, or is it aftermarket?

A taller seat would also benefit you. HD Tall Boy or aftermarket.

I just installed a LePera Daytona Daddy Long Legs. Now I have to bring the bars up and back.

If any of you guys removing the further forward mids would like to get rid of them let me know I've been looking for a set.

I have a set of Harley forwards for the S. they only have 20 miles or so. I liked the mids better. PM me if you're interested in buying.
