No experience with these but all I can tell ya is, if you want forwards get factory stuff. There will never be a question of fit or finish, if they break you can take 'em back and anything else will just look cheap. Don't waste your time or hard-earned money. Just my opinion.

Any sources other than a dealer? All I have found is the aftermarket stuff.

Have you looked on E-Bay? Plenty of factory take offs on there pretty cheap. If you're looking for the '95 in your sig. pic. I've seen them for 2bills new, factory, chrome at that.

Don't get them. I bought a set for a sporty i had a few years back and they sucked badly. Get the one from harley much better quality

I would not mess around with controls. I am a firm believer in price over brand, but when there is only 6" or less between you and your feet...the choice is yours

Peace of mind. I bought a set of OEM off eBay and never looked back!
