I am purchasing a 2018 Street Bob, however the up close controls require me to lift my foot off the peg every time I want to downshift or even upshift. I asked the dealer if the controls could be modified to be further toward the front wheel and they said no. It really bothers me for long riding and would like to know if there's a fix for this.

 

Unless I am missing something and they don't have them for the 2018 models yet, yes you can buy forward controls for your bike. If I'm wrong, I'm sure somebody will come along and enlighten us both.

 

Well I found another post where a guy used parts from a fat Bob and cvo and other bikes to put it together. Seems legit
