Hi
Thinking of installing forward controls any thoughts or suggestions on the best product.

 

[gentsvmax]

Yea their at.....you guessed it , AMAZON! LOL.
Their branded TARAZON, about $269.
I have them on my bike, had to enlarge for bigger hardware,
the bolts they come with are much too light duty.
I think the toe peg ,shifter side had a 5/16-18 through bolt.
I drilled and tapped M10-1.5 for everything. I also relocated the brake lever/ linkage location to run under the clutch housing.

If you search Billet Bike Bitz, Otec etc. you can easily spend $750
for forward controls and is why I show here one of my attempts at homemade forwards on my bike in its early development.
Right side foot peg mounted on the left frame at the front motor mount plate holes and the same for the left peg and modified jap bike brake lever's for shifter and brake pedals, heim joints, rods and linkage from a bobber site.

I'm not one for forward controls but your set-up will probably garner lots of attention from those who like 'em. Maybe a cottage industry?

I put forward controls on mine (97) they work great,they were expensive but well worth it happy days.

Back together almost ready to go back to Florida

Wow, looks great!!!

While the Europeans like the wild VMax rides, I favor a near-stock appearance. This one is a classy subtle modded bike. You made a good one! The stripes, narrow, wide, narrow are a classic design.
