Hello guys

long time reader first time poster... I have a 92 fatboy

I recently bought some 3 inch peg forward controls to make my bike easier to ride for my old man (complains about harsh seated angle for hips) so he can stretch out better. The ebay vendor assured it would fit on a fatboy, so I bought as the price was good. I put them on today and of course I barely have enough clearance on the right side, and Im not sure how I stick the little end piece with the wires into the new floor peg brake unit (see pics below)

I wanted to see if anyone has done this, maybe they could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for reading

Pic one: the old bits on the old brake (is that little tank a resevior) assembly.
Pic two: clearance on the newly installed brake assembly. what goes into that little hole on the end?
pic 3: another pic

 

In your left phot the little tank is simply a union, the switch on top of it is your rear brake switch, operated by hydraulic pressure. Can't answer your other query. That all looks pretty flimsy to me and much too close to the fender.

 

That fender is definitely going to hit it.

To gain yourself a little bit of room you could change the brake line out for a multi piece line, which then would allow you to put that brake light switch further down the line and not sticking an inch out in front of the master cylinder

 

If your dad wants to strech out more then I suggest engine guards with highway pegs.
