hi all;
I just bought my first Harley , an 06 1200 custom. I've had 11 other bikes but my 1st Harley. I have a question about the foot controls. i,ll probably have a 1000 other questions in the future but I,ve got to start with something.
The foot controls just aren't in a comfortable position for me. I would like to know if the brackets the controls are atached to can be swapped from side to side (the left bracket on the right side and the right bracket on th left side. This will move the controls about 2 inches foreward making the bike fit me much better. If this will work all I will have to do is get longer connecting rods for each side.
Thanks for the help
Lou

RE: controls
As long as your front exhaust pipe doesn't interfere, as it would on mine with non-stock pipes. The longer control rods will have to be custom fabed, especially the brake rod.

RE: controls
Another HD forum member suggested that idea, but I do not know of anyone who has done it.
I considered it, but did not think I would gain much. They come off easily. Let us know how much they move the pegs. I should have checked when I had mine off, but didn't.
A few here have made or bought brackets that extended the controls as much as 5". I did the mod described by nevets61 at:

You will see some others with a search
Kury sells offset pegs that may work as well , but the stock pipes may limit what you can do.
I envision the HD headquarters as an office with 5'10" doors
