Fat Boy Forward controls..
Who has a good pic of a Fat Boy with forward billet controls or forward longer reach set up? I saw something about this on here the other day but do not remember any pics. My bike is lowered front and rear and its too easy to drag the floor boards. I would like to see what it looks like from a whole bike perspective. I like the bike lowered but I need a bit more ridability. I welcome other ideas as well like other foot board designs??(REALLY do not want to lift her back up to stock front or rear.) Thanks guys, 73 here today, brought my SG to work/life is good...

If you really like the floorboards you could go with a sturip style footpeg. This would be as close to the floorboard setup in a peg format.

Hey Vegas, your bike is really nice. Thanks for the pics, that is exactly what I was hoping to see. I am going to do that on my FB only add matching adjustable heel rests like I had on a previous Deuce (very comfortable). Thanks again..Pat

Dog, your scoot is a beaut! I have GOT to get pics of my bikes up. I do think this is what I am going to do on my FB. It would be nice not to have to think about low siding the bike so easily every time I lean into a corner and it really was a comfortable riding position on my Deuce.

i just put forwards on my deluxe which would be pretty similar to a lowered fatboy. I have no pics yet but the pegs kick *** compared to the boards.
I'll post pics tomorrow if i can.
I also changed fenders so I essentially have a lowered fatboy with spokes.

Thanks Coaster. that does it for me, I am changing over and adding heel stirups. Coaster, how much more cornering clearance did this buy you? Anyone else know approx clearance improvement? This site rocks, appreciate the help...Pat

Pat, I didn't go to forwards because of clearance so I really didn't pay too much attention. But it did make an improvement and if asked to guess I'd say an inch or so. But if you add the heel rests you're going to loose some of that clearance again. Scott
