Look up accutronix. They make some beautiful forwards. Sorry, no pics although I know you asked for some.

My guess is you do not see forward controls on baggers is because floorboards are so much more comfortable, especially when you add the versatility of highway pegs.

these are accutronix. I love them. Sorry it's not a side shot, but it's all I have on the laptop.

The fwd controls on a bagger just make the scoot look naked to me. Just can't get my brain around it. Almost looks like you'd have a difficult time keeping your foot on the pegs! LOL!
