Title: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 02/04/08 at 18:08:32 I just finished the first batch of forward control plates, check you PM to see if you were the first nine on the Dibs List. Here's a pic of what is included, the two plates, a longer shifter rod, a extension for the brake pedal along with a hardened cap screw and a bracket to relocate the brake and brake light cable. I still need to get a CD together with some pics and assembly directions but that's easy enough. Oops, the picture was too big. will try again later. :-/ Here's two links of the work http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/02/04/bikepics-1172644-full.jpg http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/02/04/bikepics-1172643-full.jpg And yes that's another slab of aluminium in the background waiting to be sliced and diced. http://p1.bikepics.com/2008%5C02%5C04%5Cbikepics-1172644-full.jpg http://p1.bikepics.com/2008%5C02%5C04%5Cbikepics-1172643-full.jpg |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Ed L. on 02/05/08 at 18:44:09 Savage_Greg, I'm asking $80.00 for a set plus $8.95 for prepaid priority shipping. That brings it to $88.95 to your door. I just finished getting the installation instructions together and am including a CD with some pictures of the set on my bike. Let me know if your interested, I'll put you on the "Dibs" list. I'm starting the second batch Thursday afternoon, gotta slice and dice some more aluminium. |

Okay. Bikes are beginning to come into the shop, so I guess that I can put it on my "I want" list. Heck, I just spent than much on roses and a darned ol' teddy bear for Valentines Day. Go ahead and "Dib Me", too :P |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Ed L. on 02/06/08 at 07:03:39 Eduaro, I'll need to box up a set and check on the shipping to Spain. Could you send me a PM with the address that you want me to ship the set to, I will need it to get the shipping cost. Looking forward to hearing from you. Ed PS, my wife says she is willing to deliver them if you will pay for her plane ticket. Ha, Ha, ;) |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by eanon on 02/12/08 at 14:52:34 How far forward did you actually move the controls? Looks about 4", but don't really have any reference so I can't tell for certain..... |
|
Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Ed L. on 02/12/08 at 16:15:12 I moved them a full 4 inches forward from thier stock position. If that is too much then just let me know how far forward you would like them to go. I am just finishing two sets that move the pedals 2 1/2 inches and one set that went 5 inches out. |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Ed L. on 02/13/08 at 18:59:28 I've just finished the second batch and only cut one 5 inch set which is spoken for. I still have some of the 4 inch sets which is what I've been using and I am 6'2". If you want I'll put you down for a 5 inch set but it will take a week or two before I'm ready to pick up some more plate and start another batch. |

I have no idea whether the decorative-only Suzuki engine guard interferes or not. I have the Wingerline Highwaybar installed and I got a 5" set from Ed that arrived late last week. I purchased the necessary nuts/bolts/washers over the weekend and hopefully I'll get a chance to try installing them in the next few weeks. |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Ed L. on 02/27/08 at 08:55:16 The plates move the pedals forward but not up so if the stock guard sits above the stock pedal location then I would think everything would fit. Just got some feedback from Eanon, he had a little trouble with the kickstand spring binding on the left side plate but was able to clean it up with a dremel. There was also a little extra metal on the right side that got in the way of the exhaust header. If anybody has simular problems please let me know, Ill do what I can to make it right. ;) |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by eanon on 02/27/08 at 15:53:36 OK, here are some pics. Sorry don't have one of me on it without the extensions. btw, really comfy!!!

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by ohsixs40 on 03/10/08 at 16:42:34 Well after some slight modifications and a week out with the flu, I finally got my forward controls on the bike! The little test drive I took felt great! I love the new riding position! Thanks Ed! |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Malcontent on 03/30/08 at 22:24:43 Sent a PM, as these are exactly what I need. I love that someone is filling the void like this! |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Strafford_Guy on 04/06/08 at 11:22:25 Hi, I am only 5'6'' but would really like a set of these when I can come up with the fundage. Two questions: Is anyone other then myself vertically challenged and if so what size would you recommend? Are these still being made and if so will they continue to be made for a while? Thanks ~Strafford~ |
|
Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Ed L. on 04/06/08 at 16:54:44 Yeah, I'm still making them anywhere from 2 1/2 inch out to 5 inch extensions. I would think a 3 inch extension would be as far as you would want to go. Sit on the bike and see where you feet feel comfortable out in front of the pedals. I'm getting ready to start another batch so shoot me a PM if you are interested in a shorter set. Thanks |
|
Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Preppie478 on 04/10/08 at 07:48:42 Got 'em in the mail yesterday. Thanks for the quick shippin. I'm hopefully gonna be able to get them on the girlie's bike this weekend. i'll try to shoot some before / after's. Thanks again |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Charlie on 04/21/08 at 18:39:41 I just bought a 99 Savage yesterday and I'm pretty sure I'd like a set of these if you're still making them. :) |
|
Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by The Chad on 05/22/08 at 03:19:13 Are you still making these? I'm 6'1" and def need these. Also I was thinking about getting a drag bar conversion, would the drag bar make me need even larger extensions on the controls? |
|
Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Christian O Reilly on 05/29/08 at 13:52:55 I'd like some of these... what size would you recommend for a 5p9!? Do you still have one of an appropriate size left? |
|
Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Onetogo on 05/31/08 at 09:38:21 Any remaining forward control kits? I didn't notice any information about preferred payment. I notice in the description of your bike you list an oil cooler. I'm in Central Texas and it gets plenty hot here. Can you provide some additional info on that? Thanks, CollyK |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by torque1257 on 06/18/08 at 14:47:37 ED, When will you have a set ready, and how detailed are the installation instructions, I am new to motorcycles and not the best wrench turner I know but I can usually get by with the right amount of detailed help. btw I am 6'2" would five inches be too long? I have the buck horn handlebars too if that makes any difference in letting me know if 5 is too much. I also have an 87 so I would like to know if they will fit right out of the box with no fabrication and rigging on my end. thanks a lot. |
|
Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Ed L. on 06/18/08 at 15:45:00 Torque, I just finished a batch and have some ready to go. I'm 6'2" and have been using a 4 inch set for a few years with no problem. I would recommend a 4 inch set unless you have real long legs. I've tried to make the kit as simple as possible and have made a couple of changes to make the installation easier. I also include written step by step instructions along with a picture CD of the installation on my bike. Can't say that they are real easy to install but everybody who has got them on love them. Shoot me a PM if you are interested. |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by tercel29 on 06/19/08 at 11:07:35 Ed, I'm 5'7" and I;m thinking the 3" set would be good, do you agree and do you have any ready? thanks |
|
Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Ed L. on 06/19/08 at 14:05:26 Tercel, I can cut a 3 inch set out for you, only have 4 inchers ready right now. Shoot me a PM if you want a 3 inch set and I'll work on it over the weekend. Ed |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by toddlamp8 on 06/21/08 at 13:41:49 Hey Ed, That template is in the mail. I just installed my 4" set (i'm 6' 0") and all I can say is WOW! This is what this bike needed. Now my butt gets tired way before my legs! |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by skrapiron on 06/24/08 at 17:48:59 Ed, Kwaknut, Could you two possibly collaborate on the plates. I am interested in a set for a 4" extension, but I was wondering if KwakNut could provide a template for the modifications he made to the stock plates? I really think they look, (no offense intended) better than the original. I would expect there to be an additional tooling cost and will gladly pay it. If you weren't in England, Kwaknut, I'd buy a set and send them to you to be cut. I really think what you did to the control plates looks awesome...... |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by skrapiron on 06/25/08 at 05:21:13 I don't want EdL to take it the wrong way. He indeed invented these extension plates. He deserves all the credit and all the attention. Its just that I find the simplicity of his design a bit industrial. I like what KwakNut did by adding convex and concave radii and reshaping the extensions. It looks a bit more, well, classy. |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by newrider55 on 06/25/08 at 05:26:19 Ed L. I am considering a couple sets but trying to decide on length. Since you are 6'2 what is your inseam. I am 5'10 and wife is 5'7 and both interested in forward controls. I think the inseam would get us the best estimate. Thanks Tony |
|
Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Ed L. on 06/25/08 at 07:00:34 I've a 32 inch inseam, I would think a 2 1/2 or 3 inch extension would be about right for both you and your wife. Let me know if you are interested, I'm getting ready to start another batch. Thanks |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by toddlamp8 on 06/25/08 at 08:49:39 Ed, Did you get my template? I believe those changes would be necessary for installing on an 86-88 models. |

Nightrain actually created the first home built forward controls. However he doesn't seem to be on the forum anymore as he has not posted in a very long time. It was Nightrain's design that I used (with slight modifications) to make my forward controls. I hope no one gets upset with me for mentioning this. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=tech;action=display;num=1115652141 |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Ed L. on 06/25/08 at 15:24:02 I have to agree, I just carried on with the design, didn't really come up with it all by myself. I think it really was Nightrain who first made a set out of steel. Still thanks everybody, don't want my head to get too big, I'll need a new helmet if it does. :D :D |

The shifter side foot peg/shift lever and kickstand are two seperate pieces. I had to do some moderate to severe adjustments to Ed's control. It was only the shifter side. The brake side only required a small bit of trimming and that might have been just because of the amount of paint I used. I sent him a template of the changes I made so that he can provide it to other buyers that are less inclinded to modify themselves. |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Jeff D. on 07/03/08 at 19:30:55 I actually got it wrong, its a 2002 model and I would love a set. Just message me or whatever to set up a payment. My email address is dbc00p3r@yahoo.com(the 0's are zeros). From the pictures that I've seen, they look great and they don't cost $500-600. All I will need now is a new seat and this thing will be very comfortable. Been looking at some of the pics on here for some ideas. Thanks, Jeff |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by demin on 07/13/08 at 15:45:53 The hardest thing about installing them is pulling the two long engine mount bolts out.You need to have a bike jack or some way to support it,other than the kickstand.I did notice with mine that maybe it's not all the seat,but partly the control location that makes riding uncomfortable.I HIGHLY recommend these. |

I think the term "Hard to install" is a relative term. I'm really really mechanically inclined. I bought my 2001 with the engine in pieces in boxes. I thought they were easy. A little tedious. Like KwakNut I trimmed them down a bit, although my lines were just straight cuts. KwakNut did some nice curves. The plates would work fine as Ed made them. Hardest part was getting the brake cable aligned. The gear shifter side went real easy. I even extended the kickstand switch wire for a nice fit there. Will they be easy for you..... well... get down on the ground and look at how the controls are mounted. Understand what you have before wrenching. |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Starzuki on 07/13/08 at 21:40:28 T Mack, nice setup. Is that just some rattle can spray or did you go all out and get them powdercoated? Are there any pictures of Kwaknut's setup that I might be able to view? I hear a lot of chatter, but haven't come across any yet. If they're in this posting, maybe I just haven't looked close enough. |

Title: Re: They're Ready !!! Post by Keith_T on 07/14/08 at 01:23:54 ^^^ I painted mine and they started to chip like crazy when I was installing them. So I put 3 coats of clear coat on them. I've had them installed for about 2 months and so far no chipping with the clear. |

Dupli-color wheel paint. Flat-Black first followed by a gloss clear coat. The wheel paint is "suppose" to be chip resistant and solvent tolerant. Note: I was in a hurry and installed them when they were dry to handle, but not totally cured. I got some "lifts" around the washers. I'll see if I can find Kwaknut's thread..... will edit in a link later. EDIT: Found it...... http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1214052062/0#0 |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by 88pagan on 01/07/09 at 18:57:44 Got a chance to take the new controls out for a spin today and I gotta tell you guys..what a world of difference! For anyone looking into more comfort I'd highly suggest these. They polished up real nice also. I didn't bother to take pictures throughout the process because nobody commented on the need. Maybe I'll post an after pic of the installed, polished pcs though. I'm 5'7" and put on the 4" extensions. They feel perfect and actually I could have almost gone bigger. Maybe one day I'll purchase another set and put these up for sale. Thanks again Ed! |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by T Mack 1 on 01/10/09 at 11:54:19 All, I have the Ed L. extensions on for several months now. Love them. Of course, I tweaked them in several ways. I got the ideas from several others here. 1) trimmed them down for more streamlined look. You have to be real careful on where to trim. 2) Made a bracket to move the heat sheild up a bit so that I don't burn pants legs. For saftey reasons, Highly recommended. (see link to picture below) 3) I put a piece of "ALL-Thread" between the two plate which greatly stiffened up the extensions. For those of you that normally don't fidget with things, All-thread is steel rod that is threaded the whole lenght. I used 3/8" size which is normally available at many hardware stores. (You will need 4 nuts too) Highly recommended. (see link to picture below). See picture at > : Picture (http://www.users.fast.net/~tommack/ED-L_With-allthread.JPG) |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by Ed L. on 01/10/09 at 17:43:28 Trimming the plates is fine, I have no problem with turning them into what you want. I'm just glad that you can take them another step further. I've started offering a cross brace with the kits which is a piece of 3/8 all thread rod and a length of medium walled tubing for an extra 5 bucks which only covers my cost for materials. This cross brace was recommended by Toymaker and it seemed like a good idea. I can't add a tab onto the right side plate to relocate the heat shield without using up a lot more aluminum. The tab would need to be on the top of the plate and would involve a lot more cutting and waste which would affect the final cost of a set. The piece of flat stock to move the heat shield is a great idea, I just haven't tried to include something simular with the sets. Thanks for all the feedback I have been getting on how to improve the kits, I have made quite a few changes from the orignial set which is still being used on my bike :D. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by bluesavage218 on 01/16/09 at 12:55:13 Im in the middle of putting my plates on, and I guess this is for Ed or anyone else on here, has anyone had any trouble putting the mounting bracket for the brake cable and brake light cable on the plates? I just want to make sure I didn't do something wrong, because it took quite a bit of finagling to get it on there. It may just be the size of the bolt head I used. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by Ed L. on 01/16/09 at 16:52:17 What was getting in the way? It is a tight fit between the bolt head and cable, would changing the design over to a smaller bolt like a 5/16 be better? |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by bluesavage218 on 01/16/09 at 22:49:25 Well I was able to get it on there, but I wasn't able to slide the rubber protective covering down over the brake cable. Once I did a little grinding on the bolt head, there was no problem. I was just wondering if you or anyone else had experienced this problem. Not a big deal really, I wanted to make sure I did it right you know? |

I really liked the work you did with the forward controls and need some peices machined to adapt a gs450 rear cast wheel for the savage. Was going to take it to a local machine shop but I thought you might be interested in being involved. If I sent some templates and measurements of what I need could you give me a cost estimate? |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by Ed L. on 04/01/09 at 16:57:33 Hey guys, I've had a bit of personal business that has kept me away for the last two months. Had to deal with a car accident that my wife had back in December which put her in the hospital for three days. She had a concussion and for about six weeks was getting her words mixed up when talking and had lots of doctor's visits. She wasn't allowed to drive for three months so I have been the designated driver. That along with her getting a case of shingles has really screwed things up. He11 I haven't even been able to get any rides in for over a month. I'm still making the kits, only the 4 inchers for now because there were problems with the 5 inchers that I couldn't work out. I'm finishing a batch of 7 so shot me a PM if interested. I'm still asking $100.00 per set and it comes with the cross brace. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by Savage Hiker on 04/24/09 at 19:15:49 Hey Ed, new to the board! I'm 6'2 with 32" inseam and I would love a pair of at least 4" if not the 5" or 6". A little about myself. From Macon, Georgia. 28 years old. Bought a 96 Savage in June '08 (hated the color yellow, but I've grown to love it on my bike). I've put over 6,000 miles in about 8 months and rode all through the winter in Northern GA in sub-freezing weather (never been that cold in my life with 7-8 layers on :o) Now I'm loving the weather. Presently have my bike stripped down to basically nothing and doing some mods and cleaning it (eventually want to make it a bobber). I've been loving life ever since I've bought this bike and love working on it (even though it probably takes me 3x as long as anyone else to do anything, and drink 3x as many beers :P) |

But I had to stop for supper and the first hour I spent getting down, then up and walking to the shop to get my tools then walking back and getting down and getting up and, well you get the picture. (I will be glad to get my shop cleaned out, but it is too much fun riding and there is too much other stuff to do.) I got a set that were pretty easy to put on, just a couple of hitches, but nothing that I couldn't figure out. I do suggest looking at the pictures first to make sure you know which way is up. I did have to adjust the gear shift and I need to adjust the brake, but the exhaust was too hot to mess around. I will take care of that tomorrow. Oh, boy, she rides like an easy chair now!

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by Ed L. on 07/09/09 at 07:32:18 Well I haven't had any time to get in the shop over the last few weeks. Been getting ready for some house guests who were suposed to be here last week but still haven't arrived yet. My better half wants the house to be spotless so I've been elected to help keep the place clean. The windows are getting thin from all the rubbing we have been doing on them to keep them clean. I think house guests are like fresh fish, after three days they begin to stink and you want them to leave and they haven't even showed up yet. The good new is that I'll be starting another batch soon, already have the aluminum plate just need to cut it up. I can ship to the UK or overseas, UK91 savage but it costs more for shipping. Anybody who is interested PM me and I'll get you on the new list. Ed |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by Bigzuk on 01/23/10 at 18:58:42 EdL, I've read everything I can find on your fine forward controls and I sure do want a set. I have a question I've not seen ask yet. I drag the pegs on the tail of the dragon and lots of curves here in Western NC, so will a 4" set make peg drag better or worse? Thanks, Bigzuk |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by Ed L. on 01/31/10 at 19:03:47 That's a good question, the pegs are moved forward not down so I don't think they would get dragged any more that in the stock location.

I thought about using aluminium diamond plate but the metal is softer than the 6061 I've been using and might bend. I was thinking about doing a set like the old hotroders used to do. Take a wooden dowel with some grinding compound and scrub a circle design into the aluminium. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by koolaid5 on 03/23/10 at 21:10:41 ED... I'll take a set. I was wondering about paypal as well. Do you take it or how do you prefer to be paid? I'm 5'11" and would like to be stretched out as much as possible. Should I go with the 4" set you have or will you be making any longer ones in the next 6 months or so? Thanks a lot Matt matthew.smith5@gmail.com |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by 12Bravo on 05/14/10 at 05:46:55 I ordered a set a couple of weeks ago. Ed L had them to me in 1-2 days after receiving my money order. Ed is great to deal with. The forward controls make a big difference, more comfortable ride now. His instructions are easy to understand and everything went together fine. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by b-p-stewart on 06/02/10 at 13:37:06 How far forward will your set bring the controls on the bike. I am very interested and I have been looking for some for quite a while. I have a 1997 Bobber. Thanks |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls (save thread for refere Post by Ed L. on 06/07/10 at 15:43:33 I've some 4 inchers ready to, shoot me a PM if anybody is interested. The kit moves the stock pedal assemblies forward by 4 inches which gives a more comfortable seating by giving more leg room. The kit is complete with everything including instructions and hardware needed for the installation. Expect the installation to take about 5 hours depending on how good a wrench you are. me if anybody has any questions. Ed |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by scottnj on 07/24/11 at 19:47:42 Thanks for the kit Ed! Installed this weekend, and the bike is much more comfortable now. Wanted to put up some pics of my install. For fun I polished mine to a near-mirror finish before installing. Left is raw as cut by Ed before polishing, right is after sanding, buffing and polishing): http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i386/nscott12/polished2.jpg?t=1311561216 Here's what it looks like on the bike (w/fingerprints from my greasy hands -- had to clean them again to make them shiny): http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i386/nscott12/installed1.jpg?t=1311560932 Install took a little longer than I thought -- had to fiddle around with the brake cables a bit to get them right. Shifter side was easy. My advice is to take your time, read Ed's instructions carefully and mock up the controls so you know where the parts should go before you try to put them on the bike. Have only gone on a test ride, but so far so good. Fits my 6' frame much better. Somehow shifts better than before -- maybe because I cleaned the shift lever pivot and the linkage for the first time! Looks nice to me polished, was also considering painting them. Not sure how they will look after some time in the elements -- will let you know how they hold up. |

I'm trying to get it back together again, I hate getting in a slump, maybe a little more caffine mixed with some exhaust fumes will wake the animal back up. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 03/09/12 at 18:05:30 OK production is back up, the caffine and exhaust fumes worked. I am working on 3 inchers, 4 inchers and 5 inchers and am asking $115.00 for any size forward controls. I have two 3 inchers, eight 4 inchers and 2 five incher kits getting ready. I still need to gather all the steel, nuts and bolts needed plus cut the shift rods and do a little welding. The plates are made of 6061 1/4 inch extruded aluminum and will need a quick polish or paint before installation. Overseas shipping is about another $25.00. PM me if interested. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 02/19/13 at 05:08:49 Hey everybody, I'm pull the kits off the marketplace for now. There was a problem with a set and the hassels I'm dealing with right now because of it just is not worth it for me. Don't know if it was caused by the kit or by the installer. I'm reviewing the instructions to see if that is where the problem was and checking how I'm making them to try to identify a possible problem at that end. :( Ed L. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 02/20/13 at 18:07:00 An unhappy customer who just purchased a set is threating to bad mouth me because of what he says is a crappy job on the kit he bought. I have offered to refund his money with no questions asked and tried to work with him to correct the problems he is having but he has refused to even come half way to correct the issues he says he is having. He has now said that unless I send him $40.00 for his time he will post all the problems he has had trying to install the kit on the forum he has also stated that he will copy and "improve" my design. It appears he didn't read this thread or the instructions that came with the kit. Half the problems he has had was because he was trying to install the kit wrong. It's just a heads up so when he does follow through with his threat my side has already been posted. I won't be blackmailed for $40.00 hush money, he can keep the darn kit and do what he wants with it. I had to bring this out in the open so he wouldn't have leverage with his threat. It's not my way to air dirty laundry on this forum but I had no choice in this. Ed L. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by verslagen1 on 02/20/13 at 19:40:57 After 20 pages of happy customers, and many more not shown, the weight of one is a feather to fort knox. Even if true (which I doubt) an honest man would accept a refund and be done with it. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Oldfeller on 02/21/13 at 04:18:50 Ed, review your instructions yourself and if you have any doubts post the troubled instruction section here on your thread and let all your happy past customers as a whole give you feedback and suggestions for any needed wording changes. Tell whoever it is that he can come talk to me about his issues in a PM. Some folks just need to gripe and get it out of their system. Next, shamelessly incorporate any good suggestions that come out of it into your product, either paperwork-wise or product-wise. I worked in Quality for 30 years and any semi-valid complaints always went back to the engineering group with the "good bits" highlighted for incorporation into the next revision of the product. Designers need feedback too, and they always listened to the valid bits. The lady manager of the complaint department was affected by her job however. The stress of reading a constant diet of all the bile and inflammatory statements over time became too much for her. So, the moral of that story is "roll on past it after you incorporate any good bits, and don't dwell on it as it can hurt you some if you dwell on it too much". So, you (with me knowing you) need to pass this nasty along to someone mean enough to handle it without being affected (that's me). Get your paperwork fixed if you have any doubts about it. Keep on making the forward controls because most folks love them a lot. Steal his good ideas if he had any and incorporate them because that is the only good value you will get out of the mess. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 02/21/13 at 18:21:04 All I can do is try to use his complaints as a starting point to help improve the kits. I'm not posting his name because it would not be right to have the forum jump all over him, he is a Savage rider after all and that is what we all are dispite our differences. As far as I'm concerned it is over, I'm deleating his e-mails before reading them, got tired of being pulled into a peeing match with no ending in sight. Thanks for the support. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by EJID on 02/22/13 at 08:30:48 I will just add my $.02 to this thread... I purchased a set of used forwards from another member and when they arrived I could tell they were Ed L's design but they were missing the extended shift lever. After unsuccessfully trying to get it from the prior owner and unsuccessfully trying to fabricate/locate an alternative option locally I contacted Ed by PM and asked him if I could purchase just that part and the instructions from him directly. Ed replied and sent me out the part & the instructions, free of charge if I recall correctly. When I installed the controls, the instructions were hardly needed and I think the only confusion involved the changes necessary for the rear brake, otherwise it's a straight forward mod that I would highly recommend anyone with a 30" inseam or greater. Ed was a stand up guy in my circumstances and I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to purchase another set from him if the need arises. :) |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by dozerman on 02/23/13 at 18:09:03 :'( well when you decide to make a new batch if you could make me a 2" set I'd appreciate it. They're for my wife's bike and you know how that goes, happy wife happy life.! |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Routy on 03/02/13 at 07:07:24 I sure hope ED is able to regroup and start making these again. I cannot possibly keep up w/ even the demand for the 6" FCs for these bikes. We absolutely need ED to keep doing the shorter ones Routy |

Yeah there are a few things that I'm still trying to figure out on the final design, to keep the material costs and machining time down so I don't have to use a big block of aluminum to do it with, but I'll eventually get there. It's just something I've been working on the design of off and on for awhile now, when I've had the time. Once I get the design finished I'll do the prototype and test it to make sure it works properly before I start making them available to all here. R.F. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 10/06/13 at 18:19:23 OK everybody I'm back making the 4 inch kits in smaller batches for now. Had a lot happen since my last post, got laid off from my job, wife had surgery, some home renovations didn't work out properly, got into a couple "hit when stopped at a light" type of car accidents. don't want to go into it too much but the last year hasn't been real pleasant or fun. This is the first time I've been back to this site in over four months and haven't been riding for over 8 months, got the dead battery, stale gas Savage Blues. :( I've redesigned the kits a little bit which is something I have wanted to do for a while, mainly cleaning up thier appearence and making them look better. I'll post some pictures later. The hardware and installation is the same, if you are a decent wrench figure 5-6 hours. There will still be some fitting needed on the bike and I'm advailable to trouble shoot. I'm asking $125.00 per set which includes shipping to the lower 48 using Pre-paid US mail. This is the new cost of the kit, the older prices are no longer valid. Material costs and shipping have gone up and I need to pass some of that increase on. I believe this is a fair price for what you get which is a complete no frill bolt on 4 inch forward control kit made out of 6061 1/4 inch aluminum and uses the stock pedals, kickstand and mounts. I am running the aluminum plates across a sander to remove scratches and manufacturing marks. The aluminum is not polished or chromed, the finial finishing is up to the buyer. I will smooth it out the best I can before shipping. I can ship to Canada, overseas and anywhere else but there will be an extra shipping cost depending on the destination. For overseas and Canada expect to pay around another $25.00 US. The final shipping cost depends on where it is going and any posssible customs charge on your end. For overseas payment I have Pay-pal, here in the US I prefer money orders or personal checks. I have two sets that will be ready to ship out by mid week, first dibs gets them and I'll start taking orders for more. Turnaround time for orders will be around 3 weeks but I'll be working on getting a stockpile of the kits together as time goes on. post the "dibs" on this thread so we know when they are taken, post or PM me for orders and I'll get back with you. Hope this answers most of your questions about the kits, if not let me know. Peace, Ed L. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by B.J. or Jo on 12/02/13 at 10:41:03 Ed, just wanted you to know that I'm VERY HAPPY with the Forward Control Kit you sold us!! I have to admit, due to having no garage (storage shed only) and no safe way to hold the bike up off the side stand, I took it to my local dealership and had them put on. Even with the cost of 3 hrs. of shop labor, I'm really glad I got your FC's!! The bike feels totally different, not as "tiny" and I don't know why but it shift's smoother with the FC's than it did in the standard set up!! THANKS again! Have a most excellent day! B.J. Ondo Colorado Springs, CO. 2009 S40 8-) |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by High-Def on 04/29/15 at 09:05:44 Hello all, is there a link to, or does anyone have step by step installation instructions WITH PHOTOS? I have the original paper (typed) instructions and the cd that was sent with the controls but it only has 12 somewhat vague images on it. :-/ I know most of you can probably snap these things on like legos and I DO have confidence in my own skills but this is kinda of a major project and I wanna have a clear path in front of me before I dig in. Thank you for any information you can provide! :D |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 04/29/15 at 09:45:25 Sorry about the "vague" images on the CD, I took them while installing a set on my bike and also included pictures of the kit as a mockup which shows it assembled off a bike, it should be pretty straight forward. What don't you understand, I'll am more than happy to help with any questions you may have. Thanks Ed |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 04/29/15 at 12:50:38 Hey, no problem, just got some bad news about one of my dogs and am little snappy. Putting the kit on is a big job and I understand how nervous people get doing something for the first time on thier bike. Should of seen me the first time I rejetted the carb, took me all day. I just wanted to find out how to make the instructions and pictures better for the next batch. I can't improve the kits without feedback as painful as it might be. They have been through a lot of changes since I put the set on my bike. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by parttimepicker on 05/11/15 at 13:43:37 Ed L., do you still make these forward controls? I recently purchased a 2000 LS650 Savage and would like to get a set of forward controls. I'm 5'11" and it's just a bit cramped the way it is. |
|
Title: Forward controls Post by parttimepicker on 05/11/15 at 13:59:53 Oh well, I'm a newbie on here. When I posted, it took me to the last page and I can see that you evidently still make them. If you would let me know when I can order a set of the 4" ones, I would appreciate it. Thanks! |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 05/13/15 at 18:32:51 Parttimepicker, Just sold my last 4 incher and am getting ready to make a small production run. It will take about a week to get them together. I'll let you know when they are ready. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Boogie_with_Stu on 05/23/15 at 18:41:59 Hey Ed, I'm new 'round these parts but am just in love with my new '03 LS650 Savage. I've been checking out this entire thread and I must say, and an engineer myself (Electronics) that you have made an incredible product that fit a very serious need. Kudos to you for your ingenuity! I'm 5' 10 and a smidge and got some new handlebars to eliminate MOST of my crunching issues...this bike will probably see 500-600 miles a year (I bought it to re-learn after 30 yrs away from bikes) so I am not really concerned about long rides. What this mod ALSO does however, is make it a whole lot easier for us taller guys to find the pegs. I find myself constantly having to "search" for the LH peg when I start out because it's a bit too far back. I'd love a set of 4" if you are making a new batch. I'd even be willing to send you a money order in advance if that would help. Once again, great work! |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Wags on 06/18/15 at 16:01:25 Hi Ed. Just got a '87 650 and joined this site and I'm hearing good things about your extended controls. Wondering if you could make me up a set? I'm 6'-1" so don't know what length they would need to be. Thank you. Dave |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 06/19/15 at 18:31:26 Started another batch of 4 and 5 inchers and will post when theya re ready. In the middle of a 95 degree plus heat wave and the shop gets over 100 by early afternoon. Only good for a few hours before I start melting. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Wags on 06/21/15 at 15:18:59 Hi Ed. Being 6'-1" tall I don't know if I'll need 4' or 5" controls. I'll let you be the judge of that. When you get the next batch done save a set for me! E mail me at Dwagner@strbk.com with a price plus shipping to South Fork, Pa. 15956 and I'll send a money order. Thank you. Dave |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 06/21/15 at 19:16:21 Wags, no problem. At 6'1" a4 incher will work just fine for you. Got the aluminum work done, just need to make the linkage and brackets. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Wags on 06/25/15 at 15:26:43 Thanks Ed! looking forward to them! |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by GridMonkey on 06/29/15 at 07:27:28 Finally got them on there. After them sitting for most of last summer and not having access to the bike in the winter, i put them on a few days ago. Learned some things. 1 If you put your bike on a plywood box to get it off the ground, you have to take your exhaust off to get to those little clamp bolts for the break line/cable. 2 If your exhaust falls off after you take the motor bolts out, you might have 1 bolt missing and 1 bolt missing its head from the muffler mount........ 3 That solves the random squeaking you couldn't tell where the hell it was coming from. ;D All in all it was pretty easy once i got into the groove of it. Took the time to wrap my header/pipe with a V&H wrap while it was off and that eliminated the need to relocate the heat shield. Took a 370 mile round trip between then and now and i'm sure glad i put them on before i did. Much less sore in my legs than i had been on a shorter trip previously. Thanks for a great product! |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 07/10/15 at 15:49:16 Glad they worked out. I've spent a lot of time on thier design. Just finished a batch of 4 inchers. post or pm me if interested |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Wags on 07/16/15 at 05:02:56 Hi Ed. I still want a set of your 4" forward controls. Can you send a price with shipping to dwagner@strbk.com. I live in South Fork Pa. 15956. Thanks Ed! |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by 01suzsavage on 07/17/15 at 09:58:17 hey Ed just wondering what the price is for the 4" ext controls that you just made up? thanks |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 07/17/15 at 10:33:54 I'm asking $135.00 for a 4 incher and it includes shipping to the lower 48 states using prepaid priority flat rate mail. The kit has everything needed for the installation, stainless hardware, the plates made outof 6061 1/4 inch aluminum, a longer heavier duty shift rod, instructions and some brackets for the rear brake cable. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Volpstar on 07/28/15 at 11:01:04 How many sets do you have left? I'm very interested but don't think I can afford a 4" set for another week or 3. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 07/30/15 at 15:41:36 Volpar, Still have some 4 inchers left and have another batch cut out and waiting to be drilled and cleaned up. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by GridMonkey on 08/08/15 at 22:00:23 Hey, So this isn't your fault, but a note of caution. If you have your header wrapped and you put on these forward controls, you should round over the edges of the right plate. The vibration has caused the edges of mine, not rounded over, to cut through the fiberglass wrap on my header. This may not happen in all cases of course but i thought a heads up could be useful. Still love them, will have to find time to round them over soon. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 08/09/15 at 07:50:33 GridM, Would grinding that edge back take care of the problem? How much needs to get removed? Just asking so I can make a change in the template for the next batch. Thanks |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by GridMonkey on 08/09/15 at 18:45:38 I think just a simple half round over would do it. I took some pictures so i could get a better idea of what happened and it looks like the inside edge on the upper portion of the slope is what did the cutting. (Pic taken from above/in front looking down the slope camera just under the down tube) http://https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54329179/DSCN1074%20%28Mobile%29.JPG You might be able to just make the plate a bit smaller on that edge as well, seems like there is enough meat on the plate to hold, your call though, im not a structural guy. http://https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54329179/DSCN1070%20%28Mobile%29.JPG I plan to take off maybe 3/16ths or so with a band saw at work, but im not sure when that will be, when i do ill send another pic your way to show you the clearance on it, unless you've made your mod already.

Looking to find some forward controls that fit or can be made to fit the 86. Ed just wondering if you have anything in stock or if anyone knows where to find some? |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Wesley Oakley on 04/18/16 at 21:32:58 Very Very Excited to order these Ed :D |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by KC on 04/27/16 at 11:41:08 Ed, New to the forum. Converting a Ryca Tracker Bike to a bobber and need forward controls. Do you still make them and would your controls work where the bike has been modified from stock (no front peg assembly brackets, bolts etc. present)? Thanks. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 04/29/16 at 19:10:53 KC, The kits move the stock pedal assemblies forward and if they are not on the bike because of the conversion I'm sure they won't work. You might find a set of stock assemblies here in the marketplace. Have some 4 inchers advailable right now, just finished a batch. Ed |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Dave on 05/11/16 at 10:11:38 KC/ED: Sorry to jump in on your thread - but I would be willing to trade KC some very nice stock mounts/pegs/pedals for his mid mount RYCA parts. He could then use your forward controls if he wanted to get some. I sent KC a Personal Message - not sure if he can reply since he only has one post. My email is: dwhitacre@cardinalengineering.net (I will remove this post once KC sees it). Thanks - Dave Dave |

Raz, I recently installed Ed's 4" controls on my bike. So I'll post a couple of pics for you :) Keep in mind I polished them to match the crankcase cover. They come with a 'machined' finish.

Thanks Ed. I have to say again. I'm really happy with the forward controls. I've gotten used to them now, and I love the ride - it ain't no performance bike lol ... but it has such a cruisey feel. As I was installing them (I'm a newbie) I was really impressed by the ingenuity of the design. I can't think of a simpler way to make such a dramatic change. And for the money, I feel like I got really good value. Cheers IR |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by IslandRoad on 12/13/17 at 00:10:05 In response to your other messages: Thanks for the compliment on the seat. I put a lot of thought, and work into it. Yep, I'm from Australia - down in the SouthEast, on the coast. I love Oz too! I didn't really reshape the controls. I just filed the edges to clean them up a little bit, then polished them with 300, 400, 600 grit paper, then finished them with Autosol polishing paste. All the polishing created a slight radius on the edges. FWIW, I sprayed them with clear acrylic, but it was hopeless! It's very difficult to get it to apply smoothly on highly polished metal, and the slightest knock scratches the paint. I cleaned off the paint and just installed them 'raw'. So far they have held up really well. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 04/11/18 at 17:48:36 I need to apologize to everybody who has asked about the forward control kits and didn't get an answer. I had some personal problems and got drawn away from the board over the last few months. :( It's going to take a couple of weeks to get the shop back up and running but I'm still making the 4 and 5 inch kits. Materials have gone up some so I have had to increase the prices up to $150.00 for a four incher and $160.00 for a five incher. The price includes shipping to the US. Let me know what size you are interested in and I'll get back with you. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Sunset Savage on 05/09/18 at 06:09:53 Ed L., I too would love to order on of you kits. Having a 34" inseam, I'm not sure if 4" or 5" would work best for me at 6'2". I'll let you decide. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 05/09/18 at 15:30:18 I'm out of any ready to ship right now and need to run a small batch. I like a 4 inch set myself but the 5 incher works great for a 34 inch inseam. If you are going to do it go with a 5 incher just because. I'll get the shop fired back up. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Sunset Savage on 05/10/18 at 04:58:55 Ed L. Put in for a Five then. Let me know when your ready for a Paypal payment or some other method that works for ya. Thanks, JW. BTW- As it is now, I come to feel like the bike's pegs have me sitting like I'm in a little grade school classroom chair. This mod will rectify that nicely. PS- From you locale, can you see our Florida Gulf coast sunsets like I do? |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by ruckus430 on 05/11/18 at 12:02:40 Guys I came back from the shop after they installed the 5" Ed L set, holy smokes what a difference. My slim solo seat pushed me closer to the tank and lower than the stock seat. Because of this I badly needed the 5" inch extensions. If you are running a stock seat I believe a 4" set would do just fine. The 5" inch set is perfect for me, no more crunching in my gut cause my knees were so high, no more squeezing my foot between the shifter and the left foot peg, and my legs are stretched out while maintaining a slight bend. Also the low seat and crunched pegs were pushing me to rear and off my solo seat, now I sit comfortably on the pan of the seat. Thanks Ed L I'll probably have this bike forever and when this one dies just buy a 2018 model. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Gusker on 05/15/18 at 16:40:26 Hi Ed, I'm very late to the party, I've a 2002 model and would love a set of 5" forward controls. I tried to pm you but can't.

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 05/16/18 at 05:13:04 Kwarren, I can ship over seas but it costs about an extra $46.00. I use first class package which is the least expensive way to go. What size are you interested in? |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Kwarran on 05/16/18 at 05:46:32 Thank you for the reply. So 150$+46$? I have to think about it and I will let you know. I work in a factory and maybe they can make them for me, it's less of a hassle, but I wanted to also check if you have the possibility to send them overseas. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 05/16/18 at 05:52:48 The shipping over seas has gone way up over the last year and there isn't much I can do about it. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by GTG on 05/16/18 at 10:45:45 Hey Ed, if you haven't done your latest batch yet, I'd love to get an order in. I'm 5'8" with a 30" inseam. Also live in Canada. You might be able to pm me here (can't remember how it works, I've been away for a while) or email me at GTGalbraith@otlook.com I hope PayPal is acceptable. Thank you. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 05/16/18 at 15:00:23 GTG, I'm looking at an entire week of rain coming at me so I'll have plenty of shop time to get caught up with making the forward controls. What size are you looking for, a 4 incher would probably be right for you. I take pay-pal and shipping to Canada is extra. I'll need your postal code or province to calculate shipping. Thanks |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Sunset Savage on 05/21/18 at 07:26:23 Ed, I do indeed want a 5" set. I haven't reached my 10 posts yet, so contact me at jweeks@hotmail.com with your price and :D I can Paypal you the amount. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 05/21/18 at 20:08:20 Sunset, E-mail sent. Guess you are getting all the rain also. My front yard is under water and my two dogs throw bow waves when they run. ;D |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Sunset Savage on 05/23/18 at 04:37:13 Ed, I get a new pond in my backyard every other day now... We've gone from drought -no recreational burn conditions to this flooding in just two weeks! Never got the email because I spelled my own emai wrong! DOH! Please try again at josweeks@hotmail.com. Gracias! |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 05/23/18 at 12:17:22 Take two on the e-mail, today is the first sun I've seen in two weeks. Weather is going to be cr@p all weekend into next week. Wanted to head over to the county rifle range and shoot some but black powder and high humidity just don't mix. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Sunset Savage on 06/01/18 at 05:30:26 I got the kit. Nice work. Will install next week, because this side of the state looks to be getting a dry weekend for a change, so I'll be working outside on my property along with Mrs. Sunset Savage's list of :o 8-) honey doos. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Diamond T on 06/03/18 at 01:14:44 Has anyone got before and after pics with someone sitting on the bike, trying to decide what size I need with a lowered Bobber seat , also the current cost . |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 06/03/18 at 06:42:02 Diamond T, For some strange reason I don't have any before and after pictures, hopefully some one will have what you are looking for. The current pricing still is $150.00 for a four inch set and $160.00 for a five incher. I don't have any ready to ship right now, need to start cutting up a 2x4 foot slab of aluminum for the next batch which is a bit of work. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Sunset Savage on 06/16/18 at 09:49:54 ED L., I just made my final-final adjustments after taking an epic 60 mile ride in the country. Just needed raising the clutch lever and tighten a loosened mirror. Other than that it was A1 perfect. Until now, I was never comfortable enough to do little more than 20 miles. With 5" extensions it feels just right and like a different model bike. Thank millions. I thought you should know, I did have to drill out the main mounting holes a bit in order to line the bolts better. Other than that is was an easy install following your directions. I'll send a photo when I can. Cheers mate. |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 06/16/18 at 13:16:13 Glad it worked out, I'll check my templates and drills for the mounting holes. I try to make those holes tight. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Dude on 06/24/18 at 14:42:10 Are you still making 3 inch sets? If so how much are they running? If not can you put me down for a 4 inch. Email is Kingnothing9876@yahoo.com Thanks! |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Sunset Savage on 06/25/18 at 13:35:16 I too have installed a 5" fwd control kit thanks to Ed L. superior craftsmanship, and I really love how it feels going down the road. I'm sure you'll be thank full too. To the point, I am also interested in installing a crash bar that will still work with the 5" extension kit, BUT one that is bigger than the Suzuki OEM "junior sized" engine guard. Let me know how yours works out. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 06/30/18 at 10:08:05 Got the pm, need to make another small batch so it's going to be over a week before anything is ready. Ed |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Majorfatboy on 06/30/18 at 10:58:17 Ed, could You put Me down for a 5" set when You have the materials? With this post, I should now be able to PM, please message Me at Your convenience with the particulars (what shipping info You'll need from Me, method of payment, Etc.) Thanks. -Fatboy. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by elricfate on 07/24/18 at 07:10:16 Well Ed, this will sound dumb... but I want forward controls, I just don't know how to figure out how far forward they should be. I know that the current placement of the controls is fine for sub-50 mile rides, but anything longer becomes a pain in the butt. Is there a general chart or something I'm missing that will help me size out what I need/want? |
|
Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Eegore on 07/24/18 at 07:25:44 I think how far forward you need controls is a matter of personal comfort. Your height and handlebar version come into play, I made my own temporary pegs and adjusted them to see what worked best. For me I didn't even notice a difference between 4" and 5" |

Thank you for making these available. |

That's fair. Since I'm not really a tall person, or even someone with a long inseam, it's probably best if I do some measurements to see where my feet would comfortably rest. |

Right now I'm riding with a 4 inch prototype I made from way back. elric, let me know what size you want, I have sold out the last small batch and need to start another one. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by elricfate on 07/25/18 at 12:37:01 Ed, I'm trying to decide if 3" or 4" is best for me. I'll see what I can come up with when I get home. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Crotchett on 07/27/18 at 07:39:59 Ed, I wrote a few days ago stating that I would like to get a set of 5" extensions, but have realized that a 4" set would be better for my height and inseam. Please put me down for a set of 4" instead. Thanks. Reference: "Hello. I'm a new suzukisavage member as well as a new suzuki savage owner (2002).

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 07/27/18 at 13:28:03 I'm in the middle of working my bee hives and pulling honey and won't be able to start a batch till next week so it will be about ten days to two weeks before I'll have some ready. Right now I'm making a five for Roborider, and two fours, one for crotchett and one for elricfate. I'll rough out a few more for faster turn around as I make this batch. Going to try to keep my finger out of the band saw this time ;) |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Moon on 11/29/18 at 15:47:34 Hey Guys, I noticed its been awhile since there were any updates on these sweet forward control kits. Is production still halted? I'm hoping to get my hands on a 5in or 6 in, either directly from Ed or his work second hand. Failing that, if any of yall have suggestions for alternatives I'd love to hear em. I'm riding with my knees in my ears. |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by joeyt on 01/30/19 at 11:59:31 Hey there! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post in this subforum yet, so mods correct me if I'm not supposed to. Mr. Ed, I'm interested in your forward controls, if you're still making batches of em. Does your kit include everything needed, give or take a little shadetree fabrication? What length extension would you recommend for someone with, oh I dunno, 30-32" inseam? Please put me down for 4 or 5" extensions on your next run if there's still room in the list, and I'd be happy to put down a deposit. Thank you! |

Title: Re: Ed L. Forward Controls Post by Ed L. on 05/24/19 at 16:18:47 I've been avoiding this thread mainly because of a bit of burnout from making these kits. I'm in the middle of cleaning out my shop, ended up not having the room to manufacture the kits which didn't help with the burnout and had to walk away from them for a while. Not sure when I'll start making them again, there is a lot of interest and need for them still. One of the problems I has was that I felt that I could make them better but didn't know how and want to revamp the design a little. Some of the feedback I got was negative, I know not to let a bad apple ruin the rest but getting flamed on a PM is not a lot of fun and after a couple piss1ng matches I just got tired of the cr*p. Maybe I'm soft skinned but that's the way it is. That along with an increase in raw materials is the pretty much why I've had to step away from making the kits for now. Hopefully I'll be back in business when I find my workbench and get my head straight. |

I purchased a set of 4" forward controls from Ed, back hmmm. 2 seasons ago... TOP QUALITY kit, build, supplied needed extras, Personally I DON'T SEE how anyone could complain, or not be 100% satisfied with Ed's kit. The kit is well made, GREAT easy to understand instructions, and EVERYTHING you need to do this mod smoothly. If anyone had a complaint, I'm certain it was something on thier end and NOT Ed's Just my opinion ppinion Madmikesmech |
