I like the way it looks, Kirk and I'm thinking about getting the same thing for my FXDC, but does it get in the way of your leg with the forward controls?

^^^I've seen others complain about that before. Naturally I can't really speak for all sizes of people. I've seen some shorter guys say their legs dont come in contact at all with the fwd's and heavy breather. I'm 6'3" and my knee rest against it. But it's not in an annoying way. At first I didn't get one because I thought it would be akward and drive me crazy. But I don't really notice it anymore.

Nope. I dont think its any more difficult to reach the brake than with the stock AC on there. I don't have a problem with it at all. Its second nature now. I don't even notice it anymore. But that's just me.
