I think I posted the pages out of the service manual on the fwd controls. They would be in my gallery somewhere or the tech section. Just remember how all the parts came apart so when you put them back together you have it right. Clean and use fresh grease on the brake and shift bushings inside the controls and lube or anti-sieze you hiem joints.

Have fun

Yes sir! retracted controls installed no problem! knot so im still looking for the invoice so i can tell you where i got them. i haavent had a chance to take pics yet but they look exactly the same just 1" closer. its a factory bigdog kit.

Thinking about putting retracted controls on the wife's 05 chopper.

What exhaust are you running and how close is the rear brake master cyclinder to the pipe after your install ?

Thanks
