Default RE: FLH Forward Controls, HELP!!!!!!

I'm also looking for forward controls for my 2007 Road King Custom. Accutronix make a beautiful set butI need to keep my engine bars and they're not compatible.Accutronix said that people had made their controls fit with engine bars - anyone know how that was done?

The J-FL controls fromJaybrake arefine with engine barsalthough they don't have the long reach option thatAccutronix have (OK for me as I'm not so tall).

Jaybrake are currently machining a conversion mount for the J-FL which will enable anyregular pegs to be fitted. This should be available any day.

If no-one can suggest another source of bagger forward controls, I guess it will be the J-FLs.

Kuryakyn makes a highway peg that you have to remove the crash bars for, that may work for you. http://www.kuryakyn.com/products.asp...ey&ci=3243or these http://www.kuryakyn.com/products.asp...ey&ci=3754

Other than that, I'd go with accutronix, they just look better. I think the J-brake is over priced, even though it's cheaper,just cause it's so plain looking. At least the accutronix piece has been machined.

Some grinding or machining of the accutronix bracket is what is required to use the crashbar still, but i am unaware of foot position in relation to the crash bar if they were both on the bike.

I'm 6'4" and live on my Hwy Pegs... Have always used them like FWD controls - shifting and braking while on the pegs... Made it even easier with moving the floorboards out 3\4"...

I'm 6'3" with a 34" inseam. I want back and forth on either accutronix or jaybrake. My mind was made up in Sturgis a few years a go for me. I sat on two bikes, one with the Jaybrake the other with the accutronix. The accutronix were to far forward for me and the chrome finish is very slick. I was worried about being able to keep my feet on the chrome surfaces while riding on rough roads, they were just a little to long for me. I ended up with the Jaybrake forward contols and have not be happier. Accutronix does make a "mid" forward control that ends up about in the same location in space as the Jaybrake parts. These were not available when I was looking but you can't go wrong for the price of the Jaybrake controls.

Another topic was posted this morning with a link to a relocation kit for the boards that moves them forward 2". Might be an option.

+1!! Could'nt give up my floorboards on a bike I do any long days on. These look like a good option. Wonder if these will work with the 1" out kit?

I went with the accutronix 9 inch. I'm 6'6" with a 38 inseam. The difference in handling was simply amazing. Must have something to do with the geometry and weight distribution? Don't know. My knees went from way above the gas tank to just below the gas tank. I will never go back. When I looked at the jaybrake, they were a little less forward and wanted as much forward as I could get. I never got to see the jaybrake in person other than some pics. Another advantage is that no one under 6 feet tall will be able to ride off with your bike.

Yes the Wild Bill kit that moves the boards forward will work with the extensions that move it out. I have both on my 05 FLHT
