Question forward controls on a road king???

I have an 05 Road King Custom. I would like to put some forward controls on but dont want to spend the $800 for the Accutronics, and I cant find anyone else that makes them. Does anyone know if controls off a softail will bolt on or do they have to be specific to the flh models?

JayBrake makes FL specific forward controls.

I had thought about forward controls, but I have gotten to the point that I love my footboard/highway peg combo

Softtail forward controls won't work without fabrication. Only companies that I found that make the forward controls for the FLs are Accutronix, Jaybrake and Hawg Halters.

I just orded the Jaybrake controls this past week. They are quite bit cheaper than both the Accutronix and Hawg Halters. I liked them better also.

I have the same setup on my RG; it works for me. But you need to add a engine guard to hold the highway pegs.

Had my Jaybrake JFL's for almost a year and love them. They are nearly half the price of the Accutronix, more comfortable than floorboards, and are well constructed. No complaints.

Do the Jaybrakes get you as far forward as the Accutronix would?

I got my set of 9" extended Accutronix controls on e-Bay, brand new, still in blister pack, for $560.
I love them!
The only two regrets I have are
1) they are the slotted style & the chrome has started to blister a little on the insides of the slotted pegs.
2) The foot pegs are fixed & I get a little nervous about taking twisties too hard.
I'm afraid I'll scrape one & it might be enough to throw me.

Sounds similar to the JayBrakes I had on my Springer. The chrome started to blister after a couple years as well. Probably partially my fault for not keeping them as clean as I could considering the rides along the beach with the salt air. This time around I'm thinking anodized black.

They really put you out another 9" though?! That sounds great.
