Default What forward controls don't suck?
I just picked up an 01 883 and the forward controls on it are JANKY pieces of $hit. Can anybody recommend quality parts? Need match pegs as well, the whole nine.

They all suck. Forwards are gay, buy mids.

Why not the real deal kit from Harley, they are well made. There's lots of Chinese junk out the these days.

And then there's always an ***-hat with an UN-asked for opinion that has to chime in.

I love my forward controls! But my bike came that way stock so I'm assuming they are the Harley brand. Sorry, can't be of any help.

No complaints with the stock forwards. I couldn't even imagine using mids.

My Iron has dealer installed forwards, and they seem pretty nice.
I'd assume they are Harley brand, so maybe look into what cHarley was suggesting.
