Default Reduced Reach Forward Controls

Been thinking about fitting these on my '07 Street Bob:

I do and love them. One thing though, I pieced mine together with only the brake arm, the shifter arm, and an FL footbrake pad which required me to enlarge the hole in the stock brake pedal to accomadate the bolt for the pad. I also added the reduced reach seat. I then went further and added the FL foot boards which was the best investment yet.

I bought mine for my Fat Bob through the local Harley dealer as a kit and it wasn't too difficult to swap them out. A few of the bolts were tough but nothing a cheater bar wouldn't fix. The rear brake push rod was a bit temperamental trying to get it threaded on because of the bend on the new rod is wider to allow for the reduced reach mounts sit about an inch farther out cause they have to be bolted to the original mount spots.

i'm 5' 10" and tried these out for about 2 months. Around town they felt pretty good to stretch out but at highway speeds my feet kept slipping off the pegs.
So i went back to the mids, added highway pegs and that seems to be the best combo for me

I installed these on my 2010 SB and they are great. I am 5'7". To be honest I also installed a Le Pera Upfront seat which gives me some 2" forward to the tank too. It is a perfect combination for me.

Recently put the reduced reach controls on my 07 used-to-be-a-Street Bob. I looked long and hard at both versions and settled on the RR because they put the pegs in pretty much the same position my old frame mount hiway pegs were.

Haven't put many miles on it since but so far I like it. 5'9", 30" inseam and it typically ride in thinner sole boots, not the typical thick sole bike boots.
