I have Accutronix on my '15 FLHTCU. Also have a Linby Bar.
I took off the lowers because I thought the heat would be a problem.
The Accutronix are OK, but the Billet is 'slick,' ie no grip.
At the time I bought the Accutronix, the dealer was Kutter Harley and they had them for $700 bucks.
Haven't got caught in the rain yet, but I'd bet they really are slick when they are wet.
If I could go back, I'd buy the Jaybrake because of the rubber coating, but not from directcycleparts.com.
I had to make a bracket so the Brake pedal would clear the Linby bar to put the brake pedal at a comfortable position.
The forwards move my feet down some and of course forward. It is a more comfortable position than having my knees in my face, ( I'm long-legged) or tall, 6'4". Instead of sitting up on my b u t t cheek bones, I am positioned mostly flat in the seat on my butt and the backside of my thighs.
Not much grey area it seems . It's either boards, or forwards. I'm going to look into making a foot peg bracket, to simulate forward controls. Maybe with stock shifter and brake pedal, maybe with extended versions. I know a guy.
I drag both of my floorboards, floorboard mount on RH side & kickstand. I can't tell from your pics if your F/C would drag. Have you ever had that problem? Good looking bike.

Ok, I will ask it!!! Why aren't your front lowers blackened???
Besides that, awesome bike. My next project when I win the lottery or get rid of the GF, is bars and forwards. I will keep the boards to run with the lowers. In the summer I ride bare, no lowers, no tourpak, no windshield. The forwards and bars would be sweet.
Still wondering if anyone with forwards has lowers.
Could someone either post or email me directly the part number for jakebrake kit part number? I am not having success finding it.
Thanks
