( not-so ) forwards?
Hi,
I love the new Dyna Fat Bob but I'm a little guy..5' 6 1/2. I want the forward controls but would like them 1 to 2 inches closer. This would make all the difference in buying the bike.
Is there a way to bring the forward controls just a bit 'back'? I met someone with a Fat Bob and he said there was a 'plate' you could buy to lessen the 'reach'. My Harley dealer could not find it in the parts catalogue..( after-market perhaps?)
Is there a way to bring the forward-controls back just a bit?
thanks for any help...would make all the difference....love the bike...want to get it!!

If you find out, let me know. I have been looking for the same thing but haven't had much luck other than different (wider) footpegs with heel rests, and a reach seat.

The guy who owned it before me replaced the stock pegs with small boards. That already brings your foot back quite a bit - plus, you can adjust the boards fore & aft, so I moved mine all the way back. I also replaced the small brake pedal with a wider one.
Everything feels pretty good now except the brake pedal needs to come a little closer to me.
Two things I'm considering:
- having a machine shop make me a custom brake pedal lever (almost definite)
- Figuring out how to move the air cleaner or go to a low profile design that will tuck it into the bike more.
