Forward Controls Again
Anyone know where the best deal is going for a set of forward controls. I have 09 FXDC. Also going to need a deal on some pegs. I would like to find a complete kit. But I guess Iam being cheap

I've seen the Harley brand forward control set on eBay from a few dealers for under 300 bucks. I've been pondering forwards on my Dyna for a while, hadn't pulled the trigger because it's a big investment and what if I don't find them comfortable for the long run. But while looking at the many options out there, I came to the conclusion that the Harley set was great for the do-it yourselfer, plus you don't have to remove the primary cover 'n all.
I have a bad lower back, I'm over 6'4" with a 36" inseam and stiff right leg...so what I just did was find a set of highway pegs on eBay, picked up a set this week for 65 bucks. This will give me the option of tossing my legs forward for a while, and then moving back to my mid controls if my legs get uncomfy. If I find the highway pegs work great for me in the long run as far as s comfy position..I'll snag a forward control set.

I like my HD forwards. Coupled with the Kuryakyn SwingWing pegs.... great combo for me... short or long distance riding. You may hear from some folks that the forwards will make it so the bike doesn't handle very good... it's BS.
Here's a shot my of forwards with the Kury SW pegs....

Love the forwards!
My SGC had the forwards on it when I purchased it used and I could not imagine not having them. They are very comfortable and with my lower back trouble it's a no brainer to not ever want to go back to mids. The only thing I would recommend is to stay with the Harley brand, I've heard it helps if you ever resell the bike. I don't know about the website mentioned in an early reply but ebay seems to have decent prices as others have stated. Just make her your's and enjoy the ride!
