Got my FC's mounted up today. If you are considering FC's for your bike, this is definitely the way to go.

I honestly can't believe the difference these things have made in how the bike fits now.  Super product, great service, and really easy to communicate with Rich.

Do yourself a favor and get a set.

Could not be more pleased. Thanks Routy.  I will try and post some pics this week.

Tim,
I don't know that all 86'ers are the same.
What I do know is this,.......
If your kickstand mount is seperate, and bolted to the foot peg mount w/ 2 bolts, it will not fit correctly, nor will it look right because there is a large hole that will show for no reason. Also there is a problem w/ the kickstand spring anchor, and another hole needs to be drilled for the kickstand.

On the other hand, if your kickstand is mounted into the same casting as the left foot peg is mounted in, then these FCs will fit.
There are 2 guys that were on the forum here that did make them work, but neither were happy about the mods they had to do.

I can post pics of the differences if necessary.

Thanks for getting back to me Routy:

Could you post the pics? I think it would definitely help in clearing up the matter.

Much Appreciated

Tim

Thanks for pics Routy; I'm more of a visual guy so the last post definitely cleared up my questions . Bummer though... looks like the controls will be a no-go on my 86. I'm pretty mechanically inclined it's just that my welding skills are lacking. I'm gonna try and have my uncle give me a crash course in welding and possibly even a little hand-holding in the process of  coming up with my own controls. Gonna be a project for the winter though.

I got my controls in today, and had them installed in about an hour. Awesome work Routy! I am only 5'6" and the six inches is absolutely awesome! Will take just a bit to break my 12 year old habit of wear the pegs use to be, but man does it ever make the bike feel like a caddy vs a mini coope lol.

Hello  I would like to order a set can you please PM me

thank you

hey Tim and Routy i have a set on my 86 and yes i had to modify them but it only took me 10 minutes if that to fix and as for the hole is does not look bad or even stick out

To drill the hole for the kickstand i simple took two bolts and nuts and bolted original plate to the back of the new one then drilled a hole for the second bolt.

once i had the new controls on and the kick stand bolted on i simply put the spring up to were it looked like it was in a good spot to work and not be interfere with the kick stand or get hung up then drilled the hole in the plate while it was on the bike it really was not hard and it is totally worth it as my son is well over 6 feet tall and has been riding the bike every day in two months he has put on over 2900 miles LOL

thanks again Routy best investment since i bought the bike
the only problem now is that i can not get on the darn thing as it is never here LOL
