Default 883 Forward Controls
Got a question. I recently put forward controls on my Iron 883 and two days later, some jerk slammed on his brakes at a green light and I could either hit him or go down...Well when I went down, my rear brake control snapped (prevented any other damage though by acting as a stop between the rest of the bike and pavement luckily) Can I buy just the rear brake control or do I have to buy the 430 dollar complete kit again? Thanks to anyone who can help
