Default Forward Controls Question
I can imagine this question has been asked before but I was unable to find any info. So here it goes...Are there any manufacturers of Street glide Forwards with Floor Boards? I would love to have forwards but I need the floorboards because of some leg problems...Thanks for any help.

As for as I know, if you put forward controls on a bagger, you lose the boards and the engine guard. Oh, you also lose about a grand.

No there is no such a thing. Buy or make bigger pegs to rest your feet on. I made my own controls on my fatty and will be doing the same on my glide.

maybe if you put highway pegs on the crash bar at a height where you put your back part of your foot on the foot board and the front part of your foot on the highway pegs so that your foot is at rest but farther forward....also I know at one time someone made adjustable angle foot boards for dressers, but I don't remember who, maybe jpcycles...
