I'm looking at getting a low Rider a and was wondering if anyone has looked into forward controls. I think it would be better with them and was curious if there's a way to move them? Thanks

Search J&P Cycles for extended forwards that fit your ride by model and year.

I don't know why they don't just put rearsets on these and offer the option of forward controls. Those mids are in a horrible spot, especially if you have long legs. Your pant legs constantly get caught on them.

I have a set of Forwards off my 07 Heritage that I took off. would make someone a hell of a deal on them to get them off my work bench.
