There is/was an add in the For Sale Softail section here of the basics for FWD controls for your bike man.

What kind of assistance? What year bike? What does this have to do with the M8 engine? Why do you want forward controls?

We need a little more than just you need assistance.

You might have trouble finding used parts for a 2018 model.

Have you gone back to the dealer with this question?

I Posted this some weeks ago. Copied and pasted it here. Hope this helps. My forwards are on and work Wonderfully well. Zeke

Forward controls on my LowRiderI, like some here, fell in love of the 2018 M8 Lowrider. Test rode one in November. Love the Look, Handles Great, Tons of Torque. Problem is I have to have my feet farther forwards. I ride 600-700 mile days when on a long trip. Knew after the 8 mile test ride I couldn’t do that with the Mid controls. Did a lot of research in P&A Catalog to find nothing available. Ordered The Factory Parts Catalog, #94000528. Not cheap, but I intended to buy the Bike in January. Your Dealer may check for you. Made a list of differences between FXLR Lowrider and FXBR Breakout. All the M8 Softails share a Common Frame. Bought my new Lowrider in mid Jan. Ordered #33600132 forward shift lever, #50600206 Brake mounting Bracket, 2 #11191 o-ring, 1 #6057 spacer out of parts book for new shift lever. Looked up other pieces for FXBR in P&A cat. Ordered #50500693 Chrome foot peg mount kit. It includes both forward foot peg mounts and has bushings in one for new forward shift lever. I ordered #33600167 foot shift lever and #41600218 chrome brake lever. Also needed a new shift linkage from new forward shift lever to Transmission lever. I chose 33760-09. There are other choices in P&A. Shift lever needs a shift peg and brake lever needs a pad. I went with “Defiance” style pegs and pad. I also got Defiance front and rear Foot pegs because I like the style. There are lots of other choices, just be sure they fit a M8 FXBR Breakout. All that leaves is a chrome cap for old mid shift lever. I ordered one from J.P. cycle. Please check with your parts man or catalog to verify these numbers. They worked for me. P&A catalog is free at most dealers. Hopes this helps, Ride safe, Zeke.

I'm getting pretty sick and tired of the one-post chumps, coming on here with a question and never returning to update it. We took the time to formulate an answer for them, possibly even with follow up questions...

It's inconsiderate is what it is. From now on, if I see one post from someone I'm not answering.
