Default RE: Forward Controls

Why are you fellows trying to push the Accutronix product when the HD product will fit with no modification required and at a quarter of the price of the Accutronix.

Got mine from a Softail Standard - saved over $1000 - perfect fit - look good - money saved I can spend elsewhere.

Sometimes its not all about the BLING factor.

Not trying to take away the credit for your exceptional work on your bikes just trying to meet with the needs of the original post.

Just my 2 cents worth, hope I havnt upset anyone.

And the last batch...

I think they look very good and the fit is perfect!

I see that there are some Accutronix fans out there...and I think that those setupslook very good as well. The HD set works well for my needs.

Again...I hope this helps!

ORIGINAL: Apostle

I'm on the other side of the house where I wish I had floorboards... Of course, they'd look like crap on my Deuce.
I'm having floorboards installed on my bike. I too would rather have the boards than the forward controls.

Whoa, Man! When you said you'd send a few pics I wasn't looking for so many...but thank you very, very much. I can see how they fit, how they look, and I am going to assume no more bent-knee, "crunched up" feeling on the road. I think you've sold me. I appreciate the input from everyone, and I think I'll go with the HD setup...be safe, mi amigos!
