Forward controls on a 1200L

Anybody out there put forward controls on their low? I'm looking to make my wifes a little more comfortable. Looks fairly simple. Any pointers?

Personally, I do not like forward controls. Highway pegs are a different story. Something else to think about, yet my riding is going from 1st to 5th and staying there for 20 minutes or so. If you ride for a long time at 50 or over, a good seat and pegs will give a better confort.

I installed forward controls on my 1200L about a week ago. Best mod to date, wish I had done it the day I bought the bike. It wasn't too hard except whoever owned the bike before me stripped out the torx head where the brake rod is connected to the rear master cylinder. Otherwise it was very simple.
