RE: Anyone consider the Jaybrake J-FL forward controls???
ORIGINAL: sweetglide
I've got a set of black Jaybrake controls on my vivid black 07 FLHX. I'm 6'4" with a 36" inseam. I was leaning towards a set of Accutronix but found Jaybrakewhile inSturgis. I wasconcerned that the Accutronix would be to long even for me so I went with Jaybrake and the price was right compared to Accutronix. Install was about 1 hr and simple. I took my engine guard off when I purchased the bike so highway pegs are not an option for me. I'm more comfortable now then on floorboards. I left Sturgis on Thursday morning and arrived in Seattle on early Friday moriningand was very comfortable. Should've paid more attention, I could have received my iron bu** 1000, oh well I'll do it later

Here are some more pics for you. I just put the Accutronix set up on my Road King. I would not recommend these if you are < 6' tall. I am 6'2" so I have the extended set, and they are a good reach for me. Most people would not be able to ride my bike anymore.

OK, first off I you guys an apology, especially sleepman54. I said I'd post photos of Jaybrake forward controls.......... well somewhat delayed here they are, sorry for my slow response.New job, new house, moving, etc. got the best of me. As far as the controls here is my opinion.
I've got a 36" inseam and floorboards wereto cramped. I took of the crash bar so highway pegs weren't an option for me. I'd been saving for a set of accutronix but I was concerned about the reach. Talking with the accutronix folks you needed a long leg to be able to reach the controls. I found Jaybrakein Sturgis and they had a bike for me to sit on and try them out. Obviously I like them because they are on the bike. The price is much less than accutronix and they come in chrome too. I opted for the black, I wish now I had done the chrome. The comfort for me is great. They are not so far out there I have to reach. On longer rides I run a Tbag behind me. I can lean back against the Tbag and hang my feet over the front of the pegs for a little more room. I've got about 3000 miles on them and would have a hard time going back to floorboards.
Looking at jskwarek's bike I really like the accutronix but the Jaybrake controls will work for now. I'll probably change them to chrome when I do wheels and paint.
Here are the photos
