Even so, the LO doesn't sit THAT much lower. What, an inch or so??? Slam it and I still say you'd be fine. And seriously, how could that kit NOT fit? I can not think of a single part on a standard Fatty that wouldn't bolt right up to a LO and vice versa, up thru the 2011 model-year. It's the same exact bike, except for a few cosmetic differences Just doesn't make sense...

 

This link goes to a 2008 FLSTF, not 2010. I dont think there are many if any diff's between the bikes.

Reach out to Dr. V-Twin on this board, he is pretty damn good with advice and suggestion

Loook into the aftermarket if you are unhappy with the stock setup.

May have to get into some fabrication...

Or you can always try the kit and see if it colts up with any modification(s) at all.......

 

I have 3" extended forward controls on my lowered fatboy. Haven't had an issue in the 8 years I've been running it that way. If I ride with the bike lowered a lot (air ride), I can scrape the pipes in the corners. I've got pipes that have downward turned tips at the end. I need to replace the tips as I've worn them level with the rest of the pipes.

 

I dont know what it is but I scrape my floorboards ALL the effin time.

 

Check out the classifieds! Seems there's always someone looking to go the opposite direction as you! Might be able find an even swap on the forum.

As far as extensions go, check our the Arlen Ness kit. It's 3 inches and includes everything you need, including ext brake line, for around $180-200

 

I installed regular FB forwards with the Arlen Ness 3+ extensions. The forwards do not scrape as early as the floor boards do, but the increased lean angle will allow you to scrape the primary case and your pipes if you push it.

I was told by HD that forwards would not fit my LO. I had NO problem with the installation. They bolted right up.

 

So they DO fit, then! WTF is H-D trying to pull???

 

I have no idea why they do things like that unless its for legal and liability reasons.
But a Lo and a Fatty both share the same frame as a Heritage, Deluxe, Standard, or Custom.
Its just the cosmetics, front fork tubes, and it how low it sits that makes them different.

 

I'd imagine that Harley is trying to protect themselves from a legal stand point so they do not get sued. That's it.

LOL> I reckon Harley better start making some bikes that don't radiate any heat, then. Or bikes that people might fall off of.

In this day and age, people will sue just about anybody for any reason. Anything to pick up some extra cash without any honest work...
