I installed the HD ones and to remove the linkage arm from the primary you have two choices. 1-us a hack saw and cut the arm from the lever from behind the primary (pain in the ars if you ask me). 2-pull the whole primary off to remove it (there is a part that get installed that requires a 24hr cure timebefore use).

What I did install the whole forward control kit, minus the rear black lever arm and I just ziptied loosely the mid linkage arm to the new linkage bar. And when I had the bike in to get some work done I spent a little extra $$ and had the case pulled and the rest of the work done.

When I install the forwards at home, it took me maybe an hour total to do everything.

I have the opposite problem. I have a Fat Bob with forward controls, but I have short legs. I can reach the mini-floorboards I put on it, but on longer rides, the spot (the ONLY spot) where my foot hits the mini-floorboard starts to burn. I have nowhere else to put my feet to get some relief. I bought some heel rests/stirrups, but in order to mount the heel rest, the part that prevents the mini-floorboard from moving won't fit. I don't know if adjustable highway pegs might be the answer. Anyone else fixed this problem?

I put highway pegs on mine too for about $50, it gives me the best of both worlds and lets me have two different positions for my legs!

Ditto. I have the HD forwards on mine and am perfectly happy with them.
