Well with Ed L. here, I went ahead ahd got a set of 4 inch forward controls. Ed and I, (mostly Ed) put them on and this is my first impression.
WOW...........
DidI say WOW?
Yep Wow. Yesterday, I sat on a H-D sportster custom and with Ed's controls on and my seat lift, the position is identical. I feel like I am sitting in a cage (car). Legs are nicely stretched, but not orverly so. With my feet and legs faerther out, it makes the positioning on my tailend more focused toward the rear of the seat. Much more comfortable. We went for a little ride (about 40 minutes) and I wasn't sore, butt-numb or anything.. very very nice.
No this isn't a paid endorsement...they really do mnake it a much morte comfortable bike to ride. The only thing that has needed adjustment was the shift lever. Because my foot angle was different, we had to raise the lever up a bit. But it took all of 10 seconds to do.
Am I pleased?
You bet.
