Angry NEW! Reduced Reach Forward Controls
Why in the hell would these be $50 more than the regular forward controls? Cause they can...........that's why.

Probably because they include the relocation brackets in the retrofit kit.

thanks - when looking on line under "Parts, Year, Model" and "Fat Bob" the "Reach Forward Control Conversion" didnt come up but it's certainly there in the Parts Dyna section.

Thanks again

Long overdue considering Softail forwards are 1" closer as stock. Until now, I could ride any softail with fwds but could never quite reach the Dyna fwds. A set of these will eventually end up on my '06 Street Bob.

Anyone buy these yet? I was thinking about getting them, but wanted to see where the put your legs in relation to the air cleaner. I'm 6'1" so I don't think I "need" these but wanted something a little less forward than the standard. I guess for a little more stability when cornering.
