Install own forward controls on 07 FXD?
Just wondering. I have the kit and was wondering if any presses or special tools are needed to do the conversion.
Have any of you done this yourself? I got the kit from Harley that is based on the FXDWG setup.
Can someone with fair good mechanical abilities do this?
Thanks

Easy install. No special tools required unless you want to get into removing the original shifter shaft.
There are quite a few threads devoted to this subject.

If you can't do it I suggest you step away from the bike and don't ride it anymore!! LOL Yeah it's very easy, just follow the directions.
Just a pretty basic tool set will suffice.

I did it myself. I do have extensive mechanical skills, was an automechanic for 15 years. BUT its reallt easy, all in the directions and much more comfotable to ride after its done. Good Luck. Feel free to pm me with any questions.

If you're going to forwards on an FXDC, do you have to remove the shaft from the primary, or can you just bend the back linkage towards the bike, and put a cap where the shift used to be?? Stupid question, I'm sure...

OK Here goes. In the picture in my signature the bike did not have the fowards yet.
The Harley kit comes with everything to secure and cap the original shifter shaft. Easy as pie, trust me.
The engine guard has to be changed when I put the fowards on. I had to use the engine guard from a wide glide.
I do not have a heel toe shifter, I have thought about it, so any input would be great.
I also have the kuryakin switchblade pegs with the fowards, I really like them, they give me more surface area for my big feet.
