I'd like to put forward controls on my '73 Sportster and was wondering if anyone had any recomendations as to what to use? My bike is a left-brake/right-shift model.

thanks,
Chris

 

I had some on my '72 CH chop, but the brake side had a master cylinder for the rear disc brake conversion I installed. I also cut them down to move them a little closer to the bike.

Here's a couple part numbers from the latest J&P catalog. www.jpcycles.com
540-048
540-051

Something else to think about is that the foot/ankle angle and leverage sometimes makes it difficult to find neutral, and even up-shift. The cure for that is to mount the arm on the shifter shaft up instead of down. This reverses the shift pattern so to shift up through the gears you press down on the lever. Another thing that can help finding neutral is to use the stock shift lever, but mount it vertically, then drill a hole through it to fasten the shift rod from the extended foot lever. This allows you to reach down and grab the vertical part of the lever and manipulate it with your hand.

 

I put a set on my 68 its right side shift.The controls work great after some fine adjusting...Ill try to get a pic on here for you..I gotem from ebay for about $200...
