FORWARD CONTROL HELP!!
Just bought akiller set of forward controls off of the bay, but one minor setback is that they are coming without the instructions. I'm sure I can figure out how to install them without the instructions, but it would be nice to have them as a reference so I'm not left wondering if I missed a little something. The HD part number is 33398-06. Does anyone have any type of installation instructions for an '07 Sportster 1200? If not, does anyone have some close up photos of all of the mounting points for the controls on both sides of an '07 Sportster 1200? I would really appreciate some help on this one. Please post any photos here or e-mail me any scanned instructions you have to:

I just happened to have saved the instructions on that exact part # kit and will mail them to you if you would like. It was an easy install but the directions were helpful. Main issue was having to loosen the rear brake "master cylinder" as opposed to removing the exhaust. Still no big deal.

RE: FORWARD CONTROL HELP!!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new forward controls. I hope you get the needed information you desire. I have a question however, as a new motorcycle owner, I have noticed that the prices of forward controls can range from minor to very expensive. I was wondering what makes them (the ones highly priced) different from the others, other than for style? Could you enlighten me here?

RE: FORWARD CONTROL HELP!!
Well, for one thing the year of your bike makes a great deal of difference as to the price you're gonna pay. I've found that 03' and earlier models can be outfitted with forwards a hell of a lot cheaper than 04' and up. It seems that 06' and up's are the most pricey to upgrade. You will also pay a lot more for the chrome and custom controls than you will the OEM polished aluminum Harley controls. I lucked out and finally found a set for under $300 that will fit my 07' on e-bay. I've been looking for over 6 months because I absolutely refused to give the stealer $350 + tax for a set. Do you feel enlightened yet? LOL!! That's about all I can really tell you about them. I know if you ever ride a Sporty with forwards, you will never be able to go back to mid controls again. That's what happened to me after I rode a buddy's scoot. Damn him, I should make him pay for them! It's all his fault!
