RE: street bob forward control
They are charging me an arm and a leg here in NY. Service said it would take them 5 hours to put it in. Either they learned better now or theyre just charging to much. I got one quote from diff service in my area for 185. BUt i think the guy dont even know that you need to take the primary out and the it involves changing gaskets and stuff. I just nned them installed. Just wondering how much and how long it took for others to have their forward control installed.

RE: street bob forward control
Hello all... new guy here, and thought I'd add to the discussion.
The whole primary/forward control issue has to do with the '06 CruiseDrive 6 speed only. All others ('05 back) do NOT require primary chaincase removal. Also of note are 5 special bolts with integral sealing washers (they hold on the inner primary) that are one-use only pieces and are NOT in the forward control kits (at least not yet). My local dealer did mine, charge me 2 hrs labor ($150), but said all subsequent installs will be 4.5 hours (mine was the first '06 they did). I would have done it myself (I do 95% of my own work), but figured they were the best ones to do it, in case of any warranty issues later.
As to the design.... it's a six-speed and the entire primary is MUCH larger than the previous 5-speed. There's simply no room.
Pics below (or links to them, anyways..)
