It moves your foot pegs and foot controls forward on the bike. It's more comfortable if you have longer legs. I'm short, so I prefer to keep my mid controls and add highway pegs. That way I can stretch out, if I want, on longer trips. Some bikes, like the Night Train, come with forward controls stock. Hope that helps.

 

^^ Thanks! I feel kinda dumb for asking now...LOL

 

Didn't anyone ever tell you, there's no such thing as a dumb question?

(hmmmm, than why do I ask so many? )

 

Moiraes Snag,

Yeah, that dealer wanted $10,499 for the '09 all black model but I went to another dealer in the same area and bought one for $9,899 (MSRP) for the same bike. I went ahead and got the black forwards from the same dealership as they gave me a whopping 10% off on the for purchasing the bike. Better than nothing I guess.

 

They move your foot controls out more for more comfort for some people.

 

Actually, neither price is bad. Maybe the guy wasn't a jerk, just an idiot that didn't know what he was talking about.

 

Foreward controls are just that it puts your feet farther forward on the bike instead of straight down at your sides as if you were standing up....it lets you stretch out your legs basically, there are even extended forward controls that you can get that give you more inches in leg extension.

 

I had to drive 300 miles to get my Nightster for anything less than $11,000...Woodlands sold it to me for MSRP.

Havn't gotten to ride much due to my hand injury right now...but so far i love the bike. Am very glad i decided to make it my first Harley. Completely different ride than my old Ninja 750...I'm loving it.

 

Here is a nice little tid bit about the nightsters, the reason why everyone is boasting about the power they have when done with a stage 2 kit and a nice set of V&H pipes is because they are using a few little mods from the Buels on the heads.
The reason why you might beat the VRod on the quarter is mostly due to the clam shell craps the VRod rider is experiencing from his riding position.

 

That's what I did. Dealer in Conroe, TX, about 160ish miles from me, gave me MSRP on my '09. No discount on parts though, which considering they didn't charge me markup on the bike is quite palateable.

As for parts, I'm just watching the HD catalog, Kuryakyn catalog, Lick's cycles, etc. and cherrypicking the stuff I like.
