#118283 Mech (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 142 Floor boards or Fowards? 3 Years, 8 Months ago   I know I have mentioned in the past that I might get rid of my foward contols,and after a long ride yesterday I think I might be ready. I have long arms like a baboon but my legs are not the stretch they should be for comfort. I am thinking beach boards or just a nice set of chrome running boards. I am willing to make a full or partial trade if anyone has a nice set of floorboards complete they wish to part with. I considered putting them on the chopper but it would take the ole school look away from it. Pic blow of the fowards on the bike now, I purchased them from PhatPerformance about 2 seasons ago. They have the resavoir attached on brake side.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels   The administrator has disabled public write access. #118323 Jason19 (User) Yes, I am a Pirate, 200 years too late Senior Boarder Posts: 267 Re:Floor boards or Fowards? 3 Years, 8 Months ago   I have floorboards on a brand new Roadie...would love to go with forwards...they are stock but in perfect condition I would be willing to work a deal out.   Logged     -Jason   The administrator has disabled public write access. #118495 Mech (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 142 Re:Floor boards or Fowards? 3 Years, 8 Months ago   What year is your bike and can u get me a pic? I have stock ones in my garage with chrome covers on them now but I'm not too crazy about them. Kinda hoping for something a little differant..maybe i should shop them and just list the fowards here for sale. Show me what you have.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels   The administrator has disabled public write access. #118509 IowaRoadie (User) In youth you learn.... In age you understand Senior Boarder Posts: 340 Re:Floor boards or Fowards? 3 Years, 8 Months ago   I would be very interested in the forwards if you sell. I have stock ones on now, but would love to get some forward controls if the price is right. Let me know, and put me first in line if that is the way you decide to go. How much could you let them go for?

They work very well. Can do a quick "How I did it " if any one is interested   Logged     www.vikingwarhorse.webs.com -New trip story and pix 1/30/2010 THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AINT NOTHING LIKE THE COST OF LIVING HIGH   The administrator has disabled public write access. #118586 Emu@Oz (User) Emu Says Platinum Boarder Posts: 2084 Re:Floor boards or Fowards? 3 Years, 8 Months ago   Does anyone have a close up picture of the forward controls. I was thinking of replacing my floorboards with forwards. I'm fairly short (5'4" and thought they'd be a good set up for me as I've lowered my ride and have trouble with floorboards scraping around corners and roundabouts. Our local council seems to have a fetish with roundabouts at the moment. Does anyone else agree with my take on the forwards being a good alternative? Emu says...it's cool to lean into those corners!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #118587 Emu@Oz (User) Emu Says Platinum Boarder Posts: 2084 Re:Floor boards or Fowards? 3 Years, 8 Months ago   IowaRoadie Is that a chromed or painted rear frame you have there?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #118588 Mech (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 142 Re:Floor boards or Fowards? 3 Years, 8 Months ago   I'm 5'10" and I have to stretch a bit to rest comfortable on mine. When I wear my boots they fit fine but in any shoe without a heel they feel out of place. My swingarm is chromed,,one of the first things I did when I purchased the bike.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels   The administrator has disabled public write access. #118590 Emu@Oz (User) Emu Says Platinum Boarder Posts: 2084 Re:Floor boards or Fowards? 3 Years, 8 Months ago   Hey thanks Mech, perhaps I should look to see if mod is practical to suit my short legs or otherwise reconsider before forking out $$$   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #118616 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Floor boards or Fowards? 3 Years, 8 Months ago   For those short of stature if you really want FC's you can still have them. What you need to do is fabricate an adaptor between the frame and the FC to move the FC back a bit. I did it once to move my FC more forward as the normal FC to frame mount did not put my feet in the position I wanted. In either case you need to buy or fabricate another shift arm.
