Thanks for the simple installation video. After watching the video twice I was able to install without an issue. Thanks!! Standing at 6'2" I can say the controls make a world of a difference.
I have the T-Rex crash bars on my Rebel. A few days ago I hit a deer mostly with the right side of the bike and the crash bars saved my leg. The crash bar got bent back about a foot on the right side. I have the stock pegs on the bike. If I had the forward controls on the bike, they would have gotten destroyed and my leg would have gotten mangled. While this may be a one in a million occurance, I think I'll stick with the stock pegs. I did get a bruise on the inside of my knee from grabbing the tank.
Thanks for commenting, We are glad that the video was informative for you. We tried to do it as step by step as we could because the directions with the product were kind of lacking...But...it is a GREAT addition to the bike. Happy Trails.
Is the rear brake pedal kinda of spongy. I've heard people say that it was. Really liked your install of the t Rex forward controls. I may buy them if the rear brake pedal works well.
Great video!! I own a DCT and with the 27" seat height, and current mid controls, it's killing my hips!! I am really looking fwd to putting these on!! Edit: I have heard that the controls stick out, which causes wind to catch your knees, and some people explain the feeling like they're doing a splits and having hip pains Has anyone else experienced this experienced this
The controls dont stick out any further than stock, although they appear to. The addition of floor boards with the forward controls helps emencely. As far as the wind catching your legs and pushing them out goes, this is not uncommon on a variety of bikes. My Harley Fatboy was really bad about it at highway speeds where my new street glide doesn't at all. Christy says she hasn't experienced this issue on hers.
@IllRollOn-in4fg Actually, I traded it in for a Triumph Tiger Sport660 Very easy decision Much better upright riding position. More torque, style, and comfort. I liked my Rebel, but it was just not meant for me at 6ft tall
No, the weight of the Scout was a bit much and I liked the DCT feature on the Honda. a bigger bike is in the future, but not until I get more confident as a new rider. My husband has a Harley and really tried steering me that direction, but you like what you like I guess.
Do yourself (and the next owner) a favor and go buy some metric wrenches. Nothing 's worse than buying a bike that someone has stripped out all the allen head screws with SAE allen wrenches.
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment. I highly agree with you about the metric wrenches, and I indeed do own a set. However that day a few of my tools were out of place and I was unable to locate them. I assure you that there is nothing stripped on this bike. Parts are expensive and I dont take that lightly, nor would I put my wife on something shoddy or shoddily put together.

Good deal! Glad I could help ya out.
I have had these on my Rebel 1100 DCT for two years now. I love them as they make longer rides much easier on my knees.
Yes , they are much more comfortable.

@@captainobvious5349 I definitely understand. Got to find the bike that's right for you. Glad you found yours
I wish Honda would offer forward controls as an option.
That would be nice, But I really doubt that they will. We can always hope.
With the forward controls, is there any interruption between Rear Break Pedal and Engine Guard? If Full Break on Rear Wheel?
No there isn't because the extended brake pedal is totally adjustable.
I'm putting pegs on the crash bar.
That is something that we just discussed doing to this one as well
Wande the y is the r3ar brake peddle spongy
is brake rope needs not extend ? is not short ??
It has just enough for the modification.
Okay, now please tell me which web server to purchase this product from, thank you.

how they holding up
Holding top great! not a problem to speak of...yet. Don't want to jinx it.
up...not top.
You didn’t want an Indian Scout with forward controls already?
No, the weight of the Scout was a bit much and I liked the DCT feature on the Honda. a bigger bike is in the future, but not until I get more confident as a new rider. My husband has a Harley and really tried steering me that direction, but you like what you like I guess.
hello, here is south korea. i have an questions for this. 'engine guard &forward step' have not interfere? is it ok?
they absolutely do not interfere.
It doesn't interfere at all because it is adjustable.
Michigan _________ city
Why in all that's holy do they deliver shiny nuts and bolts to a MC that is blacked out? Whyyy? Bad design deluxe with sugar on top.
I have no idea why they do that, but they do...I agree 100.
