Hey everyone. thinking about getting a new street bob but having a problem with the air filter hitting my knee making it hard to get to the rear brake pedal with forward controls. im kinda short 5'5" everything else with the bike is good except for this. anyone else have this problem or have a solution.

 

Go with mid controls.

 

I'm taller than you but I had the same problem. I fixed it by trashing the stock air cleaner cover (except for the trim ring which I pried off and stuck back on the new air cleaner cover) and put on the smaller HD smooth round one. I then added the extra long Harley chrome and rubber foot pegs which are about 1 inch longer than normal ones.

 

You are probably going to get the same answers here as you got in the General Chat Forum.

 

^^^^ like lo-rider said^^^^^ mid controls

 

There is just one "right" answer...SE Heavy Breather...no more banging your knee into the damn'd football!

SE Heavy breather will move it out of the way.

 

change the intake, get a brake pedal pad for a touring bike, or go with mid controls.

 

Dammit toastman, I said there was only ONE right answer!!!

 

K&N cone style breather....
I'm 5"11 with 34" inseam and currently run mid controls....Hwy pegs on order.
My knee is no where close to the breather....
