    I had some issues as well, 6'"2 265, 34 inseam . Put some forward controls on my 05 and it is a comfortable ride now.

    Installed Forward Controls

    Nice! I had a loose clutch lever , that soft aluminum must have been levered on and made the hole out of round. I ended up drilling it out and putting in a brass sleeve/bearing to take up the slack. Those levers are nice!

    Solid Motor Mounts

    Good observation. I've been wondering why highdensity polyurethane bushings haven't been used but it could be the heat issue.

    Solid Motor Mounts

    I know there is a general consensus that solid mounts can improve handling. I have read a boat load of threads on the subject. The question I have is replacing all six necessary? Has anyone just replaced the front 4? This will be my winter project. I would appreciate your opinions. Thanks.

    Installed Forward Controls

    Installed Forward Controls

    Nicely done! The riding position feels so much better on my hips. I would like to install some solid motor mounts as well for some handling improvements.

    Installed Forward Controls

    I am 6'2 with a 34 inseam. I've had other muscle bikes and cruisers, m109, Meanstreak, RoyalStar, even a gs1150e, but this is the most comforable ride yet. I'll post some pics later today.

    Installed Forward Controls

    I have to say I installed forward controls today. The difference is amazing. Having a bad hip and long legs, and big feet was keeping me from riding. Shout out to Craig West at RefinedCycle. I bought the FC9 model which wasn't offered in powdercoat black. I shot them an email asking about the...
