KURYAKYN MARK 3 or MARK 4?
Hey there everyone, I have given up on forward controls because the support from the manufacturers is brutal, (plus they are a little out of my budget right now). SO, now I'm looking at the Mark 4 setup, as they have one for tall people. Their part number is 7841. http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go...ID/17/IMID/616
Besides the fact that you need to drill for the Mark 3's, what else is different? Will Harley pegs fit the Kuyakyn system? Anyone have pics? Thanks, JR

I just put the Mk IV on my bike a month or so ago. Took off the engine guard with highway pegs and could not be happier. I'm 6' 3" with a 34 inch inseam and the allow me all the room I need while still keeping the floorboards.
I went with the MKIV because I like the fact that they mount to the frame, the MKIII mount to the floorboards and have a little flex in them, I felt the MK IV were a little more solid feel and they dont seem to stand out as much.
I did cut 1/2 inch off my brake pedal and slid the brake pad in closer to the frame to allow better foot placement on the pegs. The MK IV use any standard male mount peg.

I'm about 6'3 and-a-half, with about a 35" inseam, so extended is better for me.
Lockman, AWESOME paint..... especially the forks..... JR

I have the IV's, standard. If I were to buy again I would buy the extended version and would like to try them. I was able to modify the standard version with another Kuryakyn part that puts them in more of a position like the IV's.

I ahve the Mark III's taht mount to the floorboards and have now had a couple of weeks to give them the shakedown test. I really like them. The only issue is that the brake pedal is almost in the way. XARAN How did you take a half inch off of your brake pedal? I would like some pics and info as that would make these even better.
Regardless of the brake pedal I find I use them pretty much all the time now. I am 5'9" so I rest my heel on the boards and my toes on the pegs. It ahs made my ride much more comfortable.
As far as drilling for the mark III's, all you do is remove your floorboards(2 bolts on each side) pull out the isnerts and measure and drill a few holes in each board. Took a total of about 30 minutes to have them on the bike. If I remember correctly, the Mark IV's mount to the frame.
If you need more reach with the IV's, get the Harley extended reach kit for the boards and the mark IV's. That should move them out a bit more.

anubisss, do you mean the Harleygoodies extensions? I'm not sure that Kuryakyn have an extension for the 7841 which is already extended over the 7840 standard kit. Every little bit helps. I even moved my seat back a little tonight. Jus put gas in it, and waiting for my TTS to show up. No rush though.... we are supposed to get hammered with snow tonight. GREEEEEAT....
