Forward Control

Anyone put forward controls on your Fatboy? I need to bet some extra room on my 1999 Fatboy. I either need to move the floorboards forward, if possible, or put some extended forward controls on. Any input would be appreciated.

There's a couple kits out there to move your boards ahead. I used the Ness kit and moved my boards ahead 3" and wouldn't have it any other way.

It's a 15 year old bike, there is a lot of aftermarket support for you model. Take a good, solid look at the brackets and grab a metal ruler and check for clearances. What is "couldn't"?
Your frame is the same as the fx softies so you can adapt pegs, I'm gonna do the same thing this winter <-- funds depending....

I have a 4" set of forward brackets I tried on my Evo and didn't like them. Let you have them real reasonable if your interested.They are for footpegs not floor boards. Ended up with Jay Brake 2" brackets. 3" work good on my 05 Train.
