Default Jaybrake/Accutronix

Looks like a Road King is in my near future....

Never have been a fan of floorboards and with my height need all the stretch room I can get.

Hoping to hear a few pros and cons of these two units and hopefully get an idea of how far each one can be extended or adjusted.

Thanks!

HD does have extended floorboards and ones that move the boards forward. Mine are a bit close and rely on my highway pegs for comfort.

I've got Accutronix forward controls on my 15RGS. Look great and the quality is top notch. Only issue is they aren't adjustable and don't really move my feet forward as far as I would like. Still better than the floor boards but if I had to do it again I'd probably go with those Ciro highway peg floorboard mounts

i have Jay brakes on my RK... they come as adjustable you can rotate them forward and lock them down where you like...the quality it great and its a pretty easy DIY install .. i also added a Corbin seat which puts me down and back some....the stock RK seat is made for a 5' 2" rider its pretty much un usable im not tall and i had to sit up into the back rise area ...and ur right floor boards blow.....

I like the Jay brake but I was wondering if they would make a set that I could use my Chrome and Rubber highway pegs to match everything else. INJEKTER , I put on similar bars and I loosened my brake line bolt just enough to move the banjo end about 1/4 inch and it now runs straight down the bar where looking at the side view your kicks out just a bit. Loosen just enough to move the banjo and you won't lose any fluid. or not...

Good info to hear about the accutronix not really moving you out any. I was under the impression that the +9 kit or whatever it's called would really stretch those pegs out there.

Injector....nice bike. One of the best looking RKs I remember seeing. Can you push those controls out any farther? Looks like a couple more inches is where I think I'd like to be?

I had the 9"FC on my 2000 RK, they were amazing, I have the 6" Accutronix on my 16 RGS, with my Danny Gray seat that sets me back 2" I have all the room I need, I'm 6-6

I've got about an inch on you, sounds like I could be comfortable with those.

You happen to have a pic?

Thanks

yes u can the large round part that is below the peg, can unscrew and be rotated farther forward... only issue if i had one would be that the pegs hit for me pretty easy.. it i went with a smaller one it would reduce that,,,but as is out of the box its just too comfortable for me to screw with. thx for the compliment
