RE: Forward Controls on an FL Fatboy
Yeah the Accutronix forward control shift is very sweet, I recommend them!!
I wont be getting a hole in my boot from shifting, its just a tap to shift(easy)
Andsolvedneutral shift as well it is an easy to shift now when idle.
I am happy with em, and I just adjusted the jiff stand for a better angle lean and more footing... (took off upper washer/lock washer under the jiff to fc mount plate)

Hey Loader here are 2 pictures I took today of the T and the pressure sensor switch.
I ended up splitting the long tube holding several wires including the sensor wire, pulling it back (the sensor wire only) ..split enough to pull it all the way back to the T, plugged it on and then sealed up the split I made in the tube cover.

Oh I used some nylon ties.. it was already pretty stable in place as the Stainless Steel line is secure along the original hard brake line route. I put one tie on the T and two along the line going to the forward control. That's it... 3 ties and the two clips on the swing arm (didn't re-use the one on the engine tho) and the banjos themselves.

Hey Loader (heh) you know Accutronix now has folding Rubber Style foot Pegs on their site.. rather spendy but they fit our FC controls AND they have em for the passenger rests as well(which is different than the ones for the FC mounts)

Hey vertigo14...I just read your wish list, very cool! And your Fatty is jammin' right now!
Hey...on your list you talked about the chrome front end and the tools required for the job...the cap screws at the bottom of each fork tube requirea long 6mm allen, not an 11mm!
I know your wanting to get all the tools together and I didn't want you picking up the wrong size!
