Forward Controls on Ultra ?
Been thinking of forward controls on my Ultra. Can this be done, and keep the lower fairings? Is there enough room? I' d like to delete the floorboards.
Or is there an easier way, like a foot peg near the forward floorboard mount ? All comments , ideas, thoughts , questions, pics, appreciated ?

Several companies make a kit. Accutronix, J-Brake, Hawg Halter to name a few. Google them, or google "FLH forward controls"
Would have to check with each manufacturer if their kit works with lowers. I know some work with engine guard in place, not sure about lowers.

In the way
They just kind of feel awkward, or in the way. I think I would be more comfortable with pegs up near the shifter and brake pedal. I don't recall seeing anything like that before. I may have to invent something. I did some searching this morning, all I came up with was full blown kits for 600 on up. I'll continue searching.

Of course you need to go with an extended shifter and brake pedal then. I believe with lowers +1 is max.
That said, I have seen forwards on Street Glides. Someone just had a thread on it in fact. But it didn't look like lowers were an option.

Would lowering them help? I use Tall Boys lowering brackets along with Kuryakyn 4588s which move the boards out and forward. It's a very comfortable set up. Even more room than I had on my softail with 2 inch forwards.

They really make a big difference. I rode a buddies 14 CVO and I couldn't wait to get off and back on to my bike.
