I'm new to Shovels and was wondering if anyone knows if there is any other model FWD controls that would bolt on to an 81 FLH? I'm going for a sleeker look on the front end and would like my knees to not be bent up as much. I appreciate any help.
Check the Drag Specialties and Custom Chrome Inc. catalogs on the internet to see if there is something that catches your eye. There may be a dealership in your area you could talk to about this or maybe there are a couple of independent HD repair shops you could go to to ask for suggestions.
If you are running footboards that may limit your choices further but if you like them, don't give them up.
If you can't find a replacement set of controls, maybe there is an extension kit that will work for you to at least move them forward.
