Default Help! Forward controls!!

Can anyone tell me for sure if a set of stock 2009 1200c forward controls will fit on a 2004 XL1200R? The brackets and all.

You try calling your local dealer.

From my understanding from the parts catalog there are different part number for 06 and later and they have another part number for 04-05. So from the parts catalog it won't fit, but don't hold me to it. I'm just a newbie with a parts catalog just trying to help .

It may be more simple than switching to mid controls. Harley makes a seat that sits you farther forward for sportster. I bought one from C&C seats and it moved me at least 1 1/2 - 2 inches forward. Do you know anyone that may have a different style seat that you could try? Seats are easier to replace than controls and if you like to be able to kick back a little, you want forward controls.
