i could measure them for you if you want.
if you want to that would be awesome. Besides buying the controls themselves is there anything else needed to convert from floorboards? i assume i need the factory forward control mounts, but anything else? thanks for the help

i'm at work, but i can do it tonight or tomorrow for you. from what i remember they just bolted right up the the original mount, but i cant remember for sure, but i can check. you will need a different brake line for the right side and different kickstand for the left side.

I just traded my forwards for boards with another member on this form who lives by me. The only thing we absolutely needed to swap was the left and right brakets with pegs and brake lever. The Kick stand, brake lines, shifter lever, and arm all worked fine.

How long did it take to install the forward controls from start to finish?
