Default forwards for the 883n

i'm leaning toward stretching my legs.

are the h-d forwards the only way to fly?
i have seen a few aftermarket forwards... are any of them decent and/or a bit more reasonably priced?


lastly:
where are all those guys wanting to trade their stock forwards for mids?

check ebay...i just scored a set from a salvaged 1200, they're the same for the 883. i have to paint them cause they are black and polished...the 883N demands to be completely sinister.

No problem w/HD & you can place a request in the "Parts Wanted" section of this forum to see if you get any takers. Kuryakyn makes good HW too...might want to give them a look. Good luck w/the search.

thanks fellas.

i looked on the ebay and saw black/polished sets, one missing pieces, and a few aftermarket all black sets.
the aftermarket blacks are not cheap but still far less coin than the h-d ones at the dealer.

anyone running the aftermarket ones?
