Got an 06 Bob, want to go with forward controls. I am looking at the ones from Harley and Kuryakyn now. I am leaning toward the Kuryakyn set. Anyone got any input if one is better than the other (function and looks)? Also I am 5'11 - 6'0 (yes, they do stack **** that high) I want my legs strechted out, any guys my size go with the 3/4 extented? Am I missing any other brands that I won't have to sellany of my kids to buy? Thanks.

 

extended might be too long for you, but not sure.

should be able to go to a dealer and sit on a WG, that would give you a good feel for what the standard would be like on your Bob?

I have the Kury extended and they work for me, but I'm 6'4".

I think you will find the perfomance about the same between the HD/Kury. You can probably get the HD for a bit less.

 

I had the dealer install the HD forwards before I pickup up my bike when I bought it. I liked the HD forwards. I just installed the Kuryakyn 3” extensions and love it! I am 6’4 with a 34” inseam. I felt a little cramped with the HD forwards. Once I put on the 3” extension the bike feels like it should now!

 

YOu can have the H-D forward controls put on. Deceide if you want them in Black or chrome.
Look at the Iso grips and the Switchblade forward controls. I'm 5'10" you might have to change yer seat to adjust you to where you need to be also.

 

I compared both and I would go with the Kuryakyn forwards but, at 5' 7" my mids are comfortable so I haven't decided what I want to do yet. With the Kury's you can easily switch back if you want but it's a lot harder with the HD's.

 

Performance Machine, or Accutronix, Joker, HHI,JayBrake, Legends in my opinion are all better than your first two choices.

 

Yeah they are but they cost twice as much too. Depends on what your lookin for I guess.

 

That's why I had the Black H-D brackets installed and went with the Chrome Switchblade pegs. Its all about how much money you want to spend. Chrome is over 500.00 just for materials. I might change mine later on. Later just ain't here. I've done got nearly 30 grand in my bike, build and changes i've made for the past year.

 

I am the same height as you, and I have fitted HD forwards off a 2001 model.
I also have the Sundowner seat, and it puts you more forward than the standard seat, so I made 2" extended mounting brackets to move them out a bit.
Feels less cramped than the standard position.
I have a 2007 FXDC. Left the mid pegs on as well.

 

Thanks for the responses. I as well plan on leaving the mid pegs. Its a winter project so I still go sometime to figure it all out. Some of those other brands are so darn expensive.
