I tried them but wasnt crazy about them.  I had problems getting the shifter to work correctly. Brake control was useless for me because it was too long and I had no leverage.  I had the shorter set for the Interstate.  Others have had good results though.

In my opinion, if you have LONG legs, then you might be satisfied, but I rode Harley's that had the forward pegs on a couple of the CHP bikes and hated them from the word go.  Why, cause my legs were not long enough.

I think they are most awesome, and look forward to showing them to you...

Most people that really like them have modified them one way or the other...

They have one non-subjective drawback, that I know of, though... They introduce a new
first point to drag...



I've never dragged mine, Frank Smoak dragged his once and almost crashed.

I have a highly modified set on my trike and I love them.  Of course, you don't drag anything on a trike! 2funny

I have a set on my supercharged bike, and I love them. Had to modify the shifter side a bit to get it to my comfort level but that was just me. I do not have any pics on this computer but can send you some later if you like

I've had 'em on my bike for years and think they're the greatest. I like the flexibility of being able to use either the stock controls or the fwd ones.

I do find the rear brake to not be as useful when using the fwd portion of the controls, it may be the angle is different or a adjustment circumstance. Outside of that minor circumstance I like 'em alot.

I find that they don't interfere with my cornering capabilities as my feet hit first when cornering and using the stock pegs.

Barry is also a great guy and has sent me replacement parts for no charge in the past, he definitely rocks!

Hopefully you can see them in the below picture. cooldude
