    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm sure someone out there has a set of forward controls bolted up on a GS. Just wondering everyone's thoughts on the set up of forward controls on a GS. If I go ahead with a set would I run into any problems. Just want my bike comfortable for the trips to and from work. Any thoughts/comments are more than welcome.
 
I think I will attempt to make a set at work. I have pictures from e-bay for a set for a Honda CB. I will mount them from the 2 motor mount holes up front and just use longer bolts, make up linkage and well... what could possibly go wrong:-s .
 
I've been looking at Sportster linkage for a retrofit...you may be onto something.
 
I am actually going to measure things up. Make a couple of sketches and machine them up at work...... I hope anyway. If it works great and I'll post pics. If not I'm out a couple hours and a bit of material.
 
I was looking in the Dennis Kirk Harley catalog and found some kits for older Sportsters. I wouldn't pay the $400 they want for them, but they may be a good guide.
 
The guy who owned my Harley had home made a set for it. I can post a few shots if you think it would help.
 
All most done of the main part will post a pic soon as I mount them. Still have to make up the linkage, no big deal though.
