also on the forwards.....how tall are ya? I had them, took them off then actually thought I wanted to do them again, but I like the idea of having mids with the highway pegs. I can still reach the brake and shifter with the heel of my boot while my feet are up there, it's kinda the best of both worlds IMO.

 

Good point, I've got forwards on my FXD and my buddy can barely reach the shifter/brake. I know they make reducded reach ones but I have no idea how much of a difference it makes.

Also not sure if you're planning on keeping the engine guard or not but for some odd reason reason my guard made using the forwards awkward (don't know if it was the angle or the controls or the guard or what, both came with the bike). You probably won't have an issue, just something to be aware of

 

Im 6'2 so i don't think reach will be a problem. Right now looking for something that is a need instead of a want. Brake pads. What are your guys opinions on the best pads i found a set of 2 (since i have dual disc) of the EBC HH brake pads on amazon for 75. But heard they make a lot of dust. Lyndall z supposed to not make as much dust but are kinda pricey. JP cycles has there own brand of cintered pads fairly cheap but never heard anything about them. What are your all thoughts. I wanna flush my brakes put new pad and clean the pistons like i saw on a thread in the braking forum. Want this thing to stop better and get rid of mushy feeling.

 

Yea not necessarily the reach for you, I took them off mine because they seemed a lil far out for me, I realized how much Im on the highway pegs cruising round the back roads but I like the feel, comfort and control I have while Im in the city traffic on the mids.....works for some and not for others.

 

yeah i plan on taking the engine guard off just haven't got around too it and i dont have the rubber plugs for holes that will be left behind til i get forwards. Might just leave it on til i get forwards.

 

I suggest riding the bike for a season before going to forwards, you might find you like them there and just want highway pegs. keep an eye on your local Craigslist too. I bought some stuff for my bike there,

 

Hey T, can you snap a pic of your primary, that'll give us/you an idea of what you'll need to do for forwards.

 

I'll post a pic when i get home I am at work right now.

 

I've been using OEM's for the last few years and haven't been impressed. I actually have a set of lyndall's coming in today. I've also heard Hawks are very nice.

Does anyone know if the stock forward controls off a 07 will fit my 99? Harley website says 06 and up. Aftermarket like kuryakan says 91-16 so a little confused.
