Default RE: Forward controls

ORIGINAL: MikesDad
Oh hell yes. Forwards are a must. Much more comfortable. I'd like a couple more inces though. I still end up on the back potion of the seat after a long ride . And I'm only 5'9. Hmmmm[:@]
Actually, I'm finding this out myself, after putting about 20 miles on the new forwards. (I'm 5'11)

If they were just stretched out another inch or two...

Still feels better than sitting on top of your feet, and having your legs bent so much.

My wife has a shirt that says, "Just get bent". That's good for certain riding, but not when riding my Harley.
