Ive got about 250 kms on my street bob and i definatley need the forward controls. I am finding that due to the mid controls my legs are being pushed up which is causing my tail bone to get extra presure. Anybody else experienced this, and did the forwards help.

 

I rode 100 miles yesterday and my tail bone killed all night. That was my first real ride on my new Bob. I have a set of forward controls that I havn't put on yet. I actually went to the garage today to install them and realized I might be over my head, I didn't realize that the primary needs to come completly off. It seems like a job better left to the pros. Hopefully the new controls will eliminate the pain in my a$$.

 

I have the same problem, the forward controls are a real pain. I'm getting mine installed this week. I'll let you know the differences I notice.

 

I can guarantee they'll make a difference. I had mid controls on my previous bike and would be sore as hell after a long ride. I installed forward controls, and I felt stretched out and comfortable...and most important...no more pain!

well iam 6ft 6in and when i bought mine ,i had the same problem.change them to fowards first thing.and havent had a problem with my back since.ive put 4k on bike since change,and no pain.you will enjoy them alot

 

Go forward controls and let a pro do the work. I got my black idozided forward controls from Legends for about 650.00. I ve seen other controls for around 400.00.

 

I was unaware of how big a job it was untill i looked a little closer, How many shop hours to install them.

 

They quoted me three hours for the forward controls. Hopefully they will be installed in another two weeks along with the big bore kit. Should be a much more comfortable ride. I've had just about enough of the mids.

 

took my dealer about 3.5hrs to install.dropped her off at 9am phone call to pck her up at 12.30pm.as other dyna riders state "best money you will spend on bike",period!!!!

 

I have a 96 FXDL. Went with Acutronix Forward Controls. Dealer installed. Costly but best money spent![IMG][/IMG]
