I have been searching most of last night and this morning for more information on extended forward controls. 2004 FXSTS and I am 6'3. I really do not want to pay the 400-500 dollars for HD or kuryakyn kits. I do see that many people have the Arlen Ness kits and it seems that they are right around 200 bucks, but I just cant seem to find the item I need in chrome. Below is a link to some I found...if they had this in chrome (basically the plates) I would be all over it.

I anyone knows of an affordable place to purchase chrome ones please let me know...and post pics of yours!!!

TIA

 

at first i wanted chrome as well. but once i got the ness kit i liked the black. it blends in with the frame and you don't even see the kit. buy the ness kit you'll be happy.

I definitely agree, 06DEUCE... I got the black for the exact same reason, trying to keep all the frame components black. Although, I am thinking about upgrading my levers to something in a chrome finish.

Back to your question 04Springer: I did a quick search (I mean QUICK) and couldn't find anything online at JP Cycles or the Ness website. I don't think that anybody makes that extension plate in chrome for cheaper than H-D or Kuryakyn (Kuryakyn usually has the least expensive parts, compared to others). Think about going black though... just think you can save that extra $300 + change to add some more chrome elsewhere!

try this guy on ebay, I know these are for up to 1999, but he may have the new ones as well. I'd call him.

Thanks for th info. I will look into the black ones since they do look pretty good on. Were they hard to install yourself?

 

Just buy the black ones and have them chromed. I live near St. Louis, a place here charges $50 to chrome a caliper, that sure beats paying $400 for a chrome caliper. You can probably send stuff to them. www.stlplating.com

 

I purchased the Kuryakyn kit from mandmcycles;$325 shipped to my door.They make the bike so much more comfortable,and I`m only 6ft tall.
I personally like the polished look.I`m one of those guys that can never have enough shiny stuff.

 

The ness kit is Nice affordable and easy to install, if you search this site you will find all the helful info needed for installation if you decide to go that way. My pic below has them installed. [sm=bling.gif]

 

I bought a set of the Ness controls on eBay...Check out this auction:

I bought a set from this guy last week for $158 *delivered to my doorstep in ~5 working days*. You might be able to get the stuff plated for around $30 if you know somebody...I got some good installation info from Unibomber and others. I will attempt installation sometime next week. Looks pretty simple to do.

Good luck.
