The right leg is supposed to keep the air cleaner cover clean and polished.

I offset my controls for comfort.

Damn... Even that view of your bike looks good Blue!

Are both pegs extended out the same length?

I feel like I do not have as much control with forwards as vs mid engine type, but I am tall and love mine. Just have to know your limitations. I even added the 3" Kury extensions and now it fits me like a glove.

Or go aftermarket? Which aftermarket brands are just crap?

Lastly....anyone here that doesn’t like forward controls on their bike? Any regrets with forward controls?

Any opinions are much appreciated....thanks

Funny thing, I have a 98 FXD, super glide with forward controls and looking to change out to mids....
