ORIGINAL: dircha

Chuck the floorboards in favor of some short pegs? Scraping the boards just isn't safe at speed.
I been thinking of this, accutronics makes a kit but its 800 smackeroos.

Yeah, I used to do that alot (hauling A$$ thru all corners). Then I hit some gravel, started to low sideand saw myself biting a grill on a Dodge pick-up. I did the wrong thing and put my foot down, stood the bike up, and missed the truck by inches. I still hadn't learned my lesson, and I cooked thru a few more turns on other rides. It took about three gravel experiences before I decided that I should slow it down some.......eating a grill doesn't seem like the meal I want to have. There are too many unknowns out there for riding that close to the edge.....[&:]

Unamed: www.jaybrakeoriginals.com now makes forward controls for FL models, and they look a lot better than the Accutronix models. Not sure what the price is yet but I'm thinking of getting them soon. I'll post here once I do.
