Forward Controls \ floorboard Extention reccomendations
I am looking for a more chopperish feel to my bagger and have been looking at forward controls and floorboard extentions, does anyone have any recommendations for me with pics installed on his\her bike?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Forward controls
I put jaybrake forward controls on my street glide last year because i had arthritis in my hip and couldn't get comfortable with the boards. I just put the boards back on and i think i like the forward controls better. Here is a pic. Great quality and they were the cheapest of all the controls i could find.$515.

3 big players in town:
1. JayBrake
2. Accutronix
3. Haw Hawlters
I've done lots of research on the issue. If you're not extremely tall, I reccomend you go with JayBrake. That's what I'm doing. I think the difference in price is $200 - $300 less and I've heard great things about the company.
I have pics that Paul from JayBrake recently sent me of their controls on a Street Glide, similar to the setup I plan on having. They helped me cement my decision.
I also did a little "overlay" with some pictures of: My old Street Bob with forward controls, a 2012 Street Glide, and a bike w/JayBrake foward controls. When matched up - the JayBrake controls are in almost the identical spot of my Street Bob's - which is what I'm shooting for. I HATE floorboards and am looking forward to getting these on. Sorry - I didn't save that picture
Oh - and for what its worth - I know the Accutronix sells a mid & extended kit and most people have gotten the extended one, which is why you'll see most reviews of the Accutronix from the really tall guys. JayBrake sells just the one product, in back or chrome (and you'll need their adapter kit if you want to use your own standard pegs instead of theirs).
From the research I've done, the Accutronix & Haw Hawlters are very very similar in look, fitment and price.
