Default kuryakyn foward controls

I installed my kury foward controls about 3 months ago and i just noticed
that the chrome is peeling off one side. I have not had a chance to contact them about it,
just wanted to know if anybody else has had this prob. Also the brake pedal will not accept
any of h-d brake pedal

Yes. As far as quality, the HD forwards are the best, for some reason the after-market just didn't do a good job here.

ya they are cheap! I have a set of 3in ext kury forwards. I have minor flaking,its only been 4 months. Also i have an hd skull brake pedal pad on mine,fit perfect. If i had to do it all over again i would have spent 30 bucks more and just went with the hd forwards.

Milwaukee Twins make the best forward controls, IMHO. I installed the HD ones and wish I went with Milwaukee Twins. They have a beefy look to them that I really like. I think 99% of Kuryakyn products are crap.

Must be a new issue. I have a set of 06 forwards I bought new and put on my 07. Have been running them for 2 years and they still clean up good as new. Same goes for everything else on my bike Kuryakyn - front signal clamps, front and rear footpegs, mirrors, signal light lenses/bezels, rear smoked LED, and chrome levers.

Kury's chrome plating is so thin that it's not uncommon to be able to see the copper through it.

I've had the Kury 3" extensions for 18k miles without any flaking/chipping/etc.
