RE: Street Rod Foward Controls
No "kit" exists but that certainly doesn't mean it can't be done 
You'll just have to secure replacement parts, either from the dealer or salvage, and may need to do some mods. It's not cost effective for the motor company to create unique frames for bikes in the same family. That said, the earliest model of the Street Rod may have a different frame as I believe it has the 5 gal fuel cell when all other VRSC models for that year still have the 3+ fuel cell. But it's probably the frame used for the '07 models. Just do your research. I took a peek at the 2006 service manual and it includes how to remove and install foot controls - forward and mid - very detailed.

Not sure if the frame is different than that of the Night Rod, perhaps a phone call to v-mod would get an answer. They make a kit to put forwards on the night rod.

SmileyGirl is correct. There is not a "kit" available. It will cost upward of $2500 to make it work. You need all the controls from an "A" or "B" plus the down tubes for the controls to mount. You'll also need "A or B" radiator shroud covers to go around the control mounts. Not to mention other odds and ends to make it all work. It can and has been done though. PM me if you want a link to how it's done.

You could do it cheaper with take-off parts but it would still be costly, I might estimate at least $1000 to do it right. Unless you have very long arms you may also have to change the handlebar as the position you would find yourself in may be a little too "clam-shell"--feet forward and hands/upper body leaned very forward.

Our localHarley dealer converted my 2007 Night Rod to forward controls for $1,190. The only problem is the chrome exhaust heat shield has a notch cut out of it near where the mid-mounted peg used to be. Obviously H-D only offers that shield--without the notch--in flat black. I think I'm going to get the shield for the Special and have it chromed. Or just change the exhaust.
