advise needed fm curiser riders here....

[arameans]

wanna check if any of u guys here did mod. to ur brake/gear shift postion similar to those of harley?

prefer to stretch legs to e max. while riding but haf found they were stil too near for both shadow n dragstar tat i've test ridden b4...

 

hope someone can help....

 

thks....

Dragstar's leg position is further than Shadow's but no matter what you do, it won't be the same as a Harley because the frame is shorter. If you fix on a bracket to extend the controls too far in front, your feet might get in the fender's way when turning.

 

Search the web for 'v-star forward controls' or 'v-star extended controls'. You can follow that template if you have a Dragstar but if you have a Shadow then I don't know where you should look.

thks bro....

any idea who does it here n @ wad cost m i lookin at?

[cruze]

haha.... rather than modding your gear n brake pedal, why not modd your seat to be further back?? save u a lot of trouble...

hmmm... i think it would be sufficient and easier to do... the angle of your brake n gear pedal can easily be adjusted by loosening a nut... third party gear shifter n brake pedals maybe not so sturdy also?? unless u investing in a good set.. haha...

 

Anyway bro, got consider steed? the controls are quite far forward compared to dragstar n shadow... haha... i m 178cm... already need to stretch my legs almost to e max..

Provided your arms can still reach the handlebars.

Probably OK if you are using pullback, beach or buckhorn bars.

Might be a problem if you are using dragbars & have short arms
