At 6' 1" I tire of the stock footpeg and controls on my '75 FXE pretty quickly.

Looks like there is a range of controls available, from $300 all the way up $1200 for adjustable billet aluminum controls from Jaybrake.

Any thought re the manufacturers and quality, function, fit etc? I'll get chrome or polished to keep with the theme of the bike.

I want good quality, but struggle to appreciate the value of $1200 controls. They look gorgeous but holy cow...

 

believe it or not even some of the hi end stuff looks incredible but is not up to real riding

unless you make your own its all been on something so post up what your looking at for suggestions and past experiences

 

Here's Pics of some of the options

1 - Bikers Choice
2 - Bikers Choice complete kit
3 - Custom Chrome
4 - Drag Specialties
5 - JayBrake
6 - JP Cycle no name
7 - Lifeline

 

You can also use footboard setups off of an '86-'99 FL softtail (Fatboy or Heritage). If you'd rather have pegs, mount them where the front footboard mt. would be.

 

If AJ is right, I would investigate that route. At the end of the day, anything from the MoCo regarding forward controls will be far better then after market.

 

For that matter, if you're not using the footboards, all of the brackets, shift linkage, master cylinder setup off any FL shovelhead will work also.

 

Way cool...

So confirming, the forward controls from a '86-'99 FL soft tail have the same mounting bolt pattern as the front lower frame brackets on my '75 FXE, and are a direct bolt-on without modification?

 

not only that but the softail stuff has a 2 inch add on you can buy - so being tall like you are your legs are out and way more comfy riding location for us tall guys

I have them on my FLST with floor boards but will work with pegs as well

 

Gotta love this board.. thanks guys!
