Forward Controls made easy

Your onto something, Now im off to some more research and might have to get at you about those pegs, I really like those.

Did some research ran into a nice idea that may save us some $$$. about 1/2 the forwards that i saw for customs have just a basic bracket mounting to the left side of an aftermarket mast. cyl. and a threaded on peg on Rt side of the cyl. If someone could figure out a cheap reliable pivot setup for the levers on both sides, we could get to building our own forwards

Thats just it, there is no such word as cheep when comes to full billet controls, If you look at how big around the factory foot peg is you can see that my set up will move your feet forward 1.5-2.0 inches with no mods at all, there is just enough adjustment on the levers to make them work real nice. Also at a price well under others, how does 150.00 for chromally pegs and 200.00 for aluminum pegs sound, both with all hardware needed.

I'm with mrbyber on this one; I don't see where your pegs or levers have moved forward any at all. Your pegs are significantly smaller in diameter and look considerably longer than stock, but I'm not seeing the claimed forward displacement. As mrbyber pointed out, check out the Accutronix 3-inch extenders for comparison.

Cheers

looks a hell of alot better then the stock.
I hope I am not offending you when I say I don't see the 1.5 to 2in gain? The peg looks like it is in the same spot. I get what your saying about gaining length by getting rid of the stock monster peg but I would say maby a half inch gain? Accutronix 3in extended puts the peg on the front side of the tube on the frame. Your at least two inches away from that.

Wow, how inexpensive do you guys want this stuff? Do you know how much time and expense go into R&D. Its just fortunate that I own a Fury, and a full blow fab shop, if not I dont know very many people that would give up there bike for weeks on end if not longer for prototyping. Just the engineering alone is much higher than you would imagine, let alone machine, waterjet or lazer time at anywhere from 50.00-100.00 per hour, plus programing and material no matter how many times it takes to get a good first article. Now, hope that the part is a hit and everyone buys it, if not there is a lot of money spent for nothing.

Now those of you that say they can do better and less expensive, but dont have the place to do it. Come on down and show me how its done. Its just as easy to keep these ideas to myself and share them with no one.

My god, I have never heard so many prema donna bikers or wanna be bikers in all my life. You want it simple and cheep go buy a fuckin sportster.
