Default Where to Buy Forward Controls???

OK so I now want to lay myself out and try forward controls. Where is cheapest place to get a set for the Iron? I have looked in the classifieds here but there is nothing. Thanks. By the way I hit my 1000 miles in three weeks of ownership and one week was rain no riding!

I wouldn't suggest going cheap, I did that 2 yrs ago and now the chrome is coming off the controls, Now I'm going to look for a better set and cost be damned.

LOL - look, nobody is cheaper than me - ask my wife.
However, when it comes to my bike, I learned a while ago to pay a little more for any non-cosmetic items.
If you buy cheap, you will sometimes compromise safety, and will pay more in the long run.

I've had good service from Rob's Cycle Supplies (via Ebay). "YMMV". http://stores.shop.ebay.ca/Robs-Cycle-Supply

beware of rob`s if they send defective parts. i got v&h mo`s from them with 2 L/S pipes in box. thought, ok, it happens, but when i e-mailed them was told to go to v&h, since robs didn`t pack them it`s not their falt. that didn`t set right so wanted to return them, were never out of bags. no refunds on defective parts is their policy i was told. i could return if items were "sellable". still waiting for v&h to act. real bad experience with rob`s. never again.
