does anybodey know of a company (in california) that sells forward controlls for the rebel (not highway controlls) ? Or would it be better for me to fabrikate them from scratch?

There are a few companies that sell them, but most are overseas. I have bgeun work on a set of forward controls, I hope to get the finished once the weather warms up.

There is a company that sells forward controls for the Rebel. The name of the company is bikercom.com. I thought it was located in Europe. When I went to the web site, here is the address it forwarded to:

They stock the forward controls. Good luck.

thanks for the tip, but it looks a little to expensive to me. considering that shipping by ups isnt exatly cheap. I resently bought some stuff on jpcycles and i payed more for the shipping than for the parts. But i can make my own too, and it will only cost me some hard work. :)

I'm going to start making some forwardcontrolls . They will only move the pegs about an inch or two forward , it's really just an excuse to use the cnc lathe @ school :lol: The pegs will be made from aluminum, and the forward-plates in steel...

Nothing is fabrikated yet, but they will(cant promise anything) hopefully be finished by next week :lol:

I've just finished the shifter side. The fotpeg is going to be shortend, and the design is going to be a bit simpler than I first thought.

You see, I cant call myself an expert with the CNC lathe. My teachers don't know anything more that i do either :lol:So the design has got to be simpler :cry:

Intead of the "radius" I'm going to mill out groves and paint the groves black.
