I put forward controls on my Fatboy. the floorboards were uncomfortable for me. Plus scraping those things just got old fast. I'm very happy I put them on. Changes the whole feel of the bike. Also an easy conversion. I used the HD kit.

Default Hey, let’s revamp this!

So I just bought a 2017 Softail Slim! I’m 6’6”, and the bike has apes so I’m good there, but I sit like a child with my knees up cause of the floorboards. Does anyone have a link, part number or anything like that to the forward controls mentioned above? Also, I’m looking at getting those forwarding blocks that push them further 2-3”, does anyone have experience with that? Thanks so much and ride safe y’all!
