Default Forward Controls

Ok here's the deal. I'm a soldier stationed in Iraq till end of November. I ordered a 09 FXDC which will be delivered in December. There are several things I want to do to this bike when I get home including Stage II maybe some paint, and of course forward controls. Now a little history on me I have about 5 years riding experience on sport bikes and ya just really dont ever move the controls on those. I was wondering if this is something I can do myself and if anyone has any good websites so i can pre-order all the stuff I need there at the house waiting for me when i get home. Has anyone one done this. I work on helicopter in the army so i'm pretty handy with tools. Thanks for any feed back guys.

You will have no problem with the forward controls and you can order them from J&P or even the harley dealer. Not exactly sure what you mean by stage II, but you can pretty much do all the work yourself. However, if you don't get an aftermarket fuel management system, you'll need to get a re-map from the dealer.
