No problems. The kick stand or exhaust will drag before the forward controls.

I second that! They are great too, but weird to get used to straight from another position, at least it was for me.

forwards

since putting my forwards on last winter I've put 10,000 miles on my 883L. prior to forwards couldn't stand to ride more than 10 to 15 minutes without my hips cramping and my knees getting sore. after adding forwards i could ride untill my tailbone and back got sore from the solo seat. now after adding forwards and a sundowner seat i can ride comfortably untill out of gas. forwards and sundowner seat did everything to make my bike comfortable for long hauls. I was considering different shocks untill I got the sundowner seat but after installing the sundowner seat there was no more problem with my spine getting hammered from the railroad tracks and pot holes.

I have them on my Nightster and have drug my kick stand but not the forwards, you will hit other parts before you get to the forwards, if you hit the forwards you probably suckin.
