Talking New Forward Controls for the Fat Boy!!!

My new parts came in today from Chicago Harley. Got Harley fwd controls, skull pegs, skull shift **** and skull brake pedal.

Only problem, I'm in Montrose Colorado. I'm fixing the nose wheel steering on a Learjet. I'm hoping to be back in town tomorrow evening and maybe I can get wrenching on the bike


Don't worry, pics will follow, but I did make ya look

Which brand did you get, and how much? If they are stock FW controls or are they extended?Curious about clearance issues, with FATBOY fender curl at the bottom. Make sure to show us some pics ASAP.

I had Jaybrake forwards on my last Fatboy, loved 'em. Then it was stolen 2 weeks later. I refused to spend that money all over again for my 08.

I ordered the Harley brand fwds from Chicago Harley, so 20% off the book price. I also ordered all the other pegs and stuff to go with them at the same time since I would be paying shipping.

I'm at the Denver airport now waiting for a flight back to DFW. Maybe tomorrow I can get in my shop and work on the bike. That is unless I get sent some other place in the country for work

Definitely waiting on the pics as well... I'm toying with the idea as well for my bike. At 6'3" I'd like to stretch out some...

Finally got home and got some rest. I'm headed out to the shop now to get working on it. I'll swipe my wifes camera and take with me so I don't have to use my Blackberry. It takes good pics if the light is good, but it won't always focus on the item you want it to.

I think it should hit 60F today, so I can test ride it too in decent weather. A huge plus
