Default Softail forward controls on a Dyna

There is a nice new set of forward controls on ebay but they are for a Softail. Does anyone know if these will work on my SuperGlide???

Huebie,
I'm pretty clueless on this one - but since no one else has responded - I'll tell you the little that I know.

Softails have the master cylinder right at the brake foot - dynas have a rod that runs back to the master cylinder that is near the rear caliper. Assuming the mount holes are correct, you would need to remove the MC at the rear and make a custom brake line to the caliper - not too bad assuming the forwards in question include a master cylinder.

Sorry - but no idea on the shift side.

Never seen a dyna with a forward master cylinder - anyone have a pic???

Anything will work. The real question is how much money do you want to spend to make it happen?

Just a guess here - they won't work.

Wait not wait a day or two on eBay,
and find a setup for your SuperGlide???

The softtail ones won't fit. There are different mounting holes. But they do make forward controls for dynas that have the master cylinder on the controls. They are made by supreme legends.
