Did you get the chrome or the polished aluminum?

My custom already had the polishedforwards installed,but I replaced all the parts with a chrome kit from Drag Specialties.Looks way better now with H-D's diamondplate footpegs rounding off the package.

Had F/Cs put on last summer. Difference was that of sitting on a cinder block to a lazy boy!!!

No more pulling up to stops with my legs asleep.

One of the first thing I did after my 1200 conversion was progressives all around, and forward controls. . Huge difference in ride quality. The only draw back is that when I take off at WOT it takes a while to get my legs back up on the pegs, real close in time to shift into second at 55mph ..Mark,,
