I'm wondering if any one tried to switch pegs left to right to get them a little more forward


looks like it would work

The mount holes are equidistant to the peg hole aren't they?


Plus what about the peg mount being angled?

I've been considering these for about $150

but haven't bought them becausewhat I really need is a good set ofreal billet forward controls. $$$

Hmm, if you can get the left and right brackets swapped it may work? As far as pegs go I think you would need to go with aftermarket since like Arizona said the stockers would be rotated all catywampus. The pegs I bought from Kuryakyn allowed you to set your own angle. Something like that would work in your case since the angle of the mount on the reveresed control mounts would not affect which angle you eventually set your pegs at. Only other thing to consider would be the mounting of the brake lever and shift lever, which you would think would have the same holeset, but you might want to measure before you start unbolting stuff. Let us know if it works

Or, without aftermarket pegs I think you might be able to swap the pegs as well to get the right angle. I'm looking at the picture in Arizona's post and trying to move parts in my head and I think it may work?

thank you for saying bracket thats what i mean switch the brackets to have a little forward angle

 

[unforgiven]

Am I just being dense? If you switch them over would they not move them closer than further away?

The slanted face of the bracket would be slanting forward so the pegs would move a peg-distance forward, but Item 43 would have to be retroffitted since the mount holes don't exist on the other bracket. Also one look at the clearance on your stockfoot brake lever you'll see it needs the slant in front to clear, so that would have to be modified. Yes Kuryakyn pegs would be a solution since they rotate to any angle. Its probably too much money for the small inch advantage. California bikes could have additional mod requirements. Also, I don't know if the brackets sit square on the frame, and its anassumption the bolt patters match.

Timoken tried doing this about 4 years ago. As I recall it couldn't be done for some reason but I do not recall just why. You may be able to find what he had to say with a search. Then again, it may have just been something he tossed into a forward control discussion. What the ****, it wouldn't take long to pull them off and try.
