Not so wishful. I think he could make forward controls easily with his CNC machine. That's one part in the aftermarket that is waaay expensive. Good idea.



Wouldn't that just be sweet? We'll have to bring it up. I got an email back from him today. He said the cost would probably be around $100. He asked if that is 'in the ball game?".  He also said he was going to get on this forum to keep us updated. He said that he stopped by a shop this AM to check out the scoot. He said that the plastic fork guards would likely have to go, but we already knew that.

Meanwhile, check out these forward controls I found - they're $459.

Foward Controls

He could probably make a kit that would fit our footpegs and controls for a lot less.

Look great and for around $100.00 sounds like a good deal. Have sent an email also.

He contacted me about the forward control kits I made, told him that he can use my plans if he needs to. Need to find someone with a plasma cutter and make a bunch out of 1/4 inch steel plate.

Cool. I actually sent him a link to your post and pics. Glad to hear that he's considering this!
