Title: lunchbreak forward controls :)
Post by bobbed750 on 06/22/10 at 04:34:09

scavenged some junk from the scrap steel bin at work and made some make-shift forward controls

the footpeg is a 3/4" bolt
the bushings are diesel shock eyelets
the arms are part of a bent crossmember (1/4" steel)
and the levers are knurled handles from 2 cheap, cheap ratchets i had in the junk drawer in my toolbox

drilled 1/4" holes and put on press-fit grease zerks to lube them

still gotta figure out how im going to mount them, then make and weld on the linkage tabs

not TOO crappy looking, will fit in perfect on the rat-chop im starting :-)
