Forward Control Options
I picked up a 2014 48 a couple weeks ago and have been doing a little work on it here and there.
One of the few complaints I have with it is the positioning of the levers on the forward controls. With the arch of my boots on the peg I find that levers are a little too far away for my liking. When I have the heal of my boot against the peg the distance is fine but feels a little unstable.
I have done a search but would like some suggestions to bring the levers in closer to the pegs. Thanks for the help.
I wear size 9 1/2 to 10 boots so I know my feet aren't small.

Thanks, I will have to take a look at that when I get home in a week. I know my heel should be behind the peg which is why I wanted to adjust the pegs or find a new set that fit better.

how tall are you? Im short - 5'1" and my sportster Low was modified to forward controls. Im a bit uncomfortable too where the peg is in relation to the pedals. It was recommended that I buy a Easy Reach Forward Control Conversion kit which pulls everything back by about 2 inches. Don't know if this is an option for you if the adjustments don't work.

I am 5'9". It is not a issue of reach it is an issue of lever to peg distance. When my heal is behind the peg it puts the lever at my toe and I would like to have it at the ball of my foot to have a better feel for the controls. It looks like I can flip the pegs around and that will solve my issue but I have to wait till I get back from work.
