Anyone have pics of a '75 or '76 with Daniel Boone forward controls. Interested in seeing how you ran the brake cable side of things.

Thanks,

Skinner

 

I'm at work now, but when I get home I will take a snap shot for you. Would you happen to have a picture of your shift side hooked up correctly? I would like to see how you got your shifter hooked up. I can't get my shifter linkage to reach correctly with out the shifter arm being so high in the air that I have to lift my foot up to shift or hit it with the back side of my boot. I know that makes no sense at all but I will show you what I mean when I get home.

 

supr2nr -I am on the road and won't be back home to take pics until the 25th.

Regards,

Skinner

 

No worries man. I was just curious how your shifter looks just sitting there not in use.

Here's thre pictures of how I have my brake cable ran on my forward controls. Mine is a 76. Ignore all the grease, gunk and scratches. The bike is goign through a rebuild right now. The pictures may not be all that informative but thats because my wife took the pictures as my hands were greasy.

Hey Skinner did you get a chance to take a picture of your shifter side? I would be really curious to see yours.

Thanks!

 

I have a set i got from custom chrome which are the same as yours,if you go to my gallery theres pictures there of both sides. or www.photobucket.comand search user kiwi35 few picture there. Thanks Paul

 

Thank you very much. I can see now what my problem was. I was using the upper hole for my foot rest instead of the bottom like yours.

Very nice bike by the way. I love the color.

 

I think i did the same as you, i had the foot peg on thewrong holes as well, nothing seemed to work very well at all untill i seen another pic of a bike from a member here.Now tell me what will the hole be for where the foot peg was.

 

Thats a good question. I'm wondering the same thing now too. The only thing I can think of is if it were for a highway peg, but the shifter and brake would be right in the way, so that doesnt make much sense.

 

Sorry Guys. I have not bolted mine up yet supr2nr. That's why I have been looking for other that have these controls.I did the same as you and put the foot peg in the big hole at the front.
