Default Thinking about adding forward controls to FXR

I have been searching for a while now; comparing prices and looks for a change to forward controls on my '87 FXR.

I would like opinions and possibly pictures of those that have changed to forward controls. I don't really care for the billet look so the steel versions would be fine.

Thanks in advance...

nzbernie: Thanks. Very nice FXR.

What brand of controls are they? They look like plate steel brackets and steel levers/pedal. Which is exactly what I want.

I haven't had great luck out of my billet pieces on my rigid; they seem very brittle and crack easily.

Once again, thanks.


Ahhh, never mind. I just realized your bike is a Low Rider and I assume it came with forwards...

I might be interested in buying your mids if you switch over and they are in good shape. Keep me in mind when and if you do.

I just ordered a set of the forwards from the bottom link. Best price I could find after searching for a couple of weeks. Thanks for the help. Now just have to wait to get 'em and get 'em on.

Man I love this bike....
