I got a oem take off from a street bob for my bike his bike had no holes in primary cover my bike has did you have to plug the inner primary cover too?
No need to plug the inner side of the primary as there is a steel collar insert so nothing can get into the primary. The outer plug is only for aesthetics and not there to stop anything from going into the primary
@@TheGingybeardMan sweet!! I haven’t had the cover off my 11 bob so wasn’t sure my 91 fxr is a lot different and with forwards.looks like il be swapping from mids this week cool
@@TheGingybeardMan where can i find one of those plugs? my forward controls did not come with one.. i know its just cosmetic.. but i still want to plug that hole.. lol thanks in advance
Thank you soooo damn much! It was a breeze! If I had any constructive criticism to add it would have been to just slow down a tad. But man! You doing this to help all of us out here was phenomenal, thanks again! I look forward to seeing more of your videos. I may install bars next, I’m going to look through your uploads now!
Thanks Gingy-Got the softail 2 days ago and picked up my kit today from HD. Looks pretty straight forward. The OEM kit is pricey as you said- $575, too many bad reviews on the aftermarket kits for me to go that route . This will be the first upgrade as old reconstructed knees don't like mid controls at all. Love the orange logo on the tank.
Nice one hope the install goes smoothly for you mate. I Have had a few people say the mounting torx bolts can be a pain to get out and the head of the bolts get stripped easily. Make sure you use the correct size torx wrench.
@@TheGingybeardMan Ran out of daylight yesterday after work so only the brake side is complete. Took about an hour since I had to take the crash bar off. No issues but I got more from your video than the instructions provided. Hit the other one tonight-Cheers mate. Anyone want to buy an "as new/butt ugly crash guard" ?
@@TheGingybeardMan All sorted, left side was easier than the right. Shift lever bolt down below needs your full attention, strip that one and you're probably taking the primary cover off. Forward controls are a dream. Love your passion for the bikes buddy.
Gotta thank you for making this, I did it today and your vid was far more helpful than the instructions. They must’ve watched your vid because my kit came with a black button for the primary case. Only weird thing is the way the clutch linkage connects at an angle. That was sloppy design on their part. Thanks again! 🤙🏽
@TheGingybeardMan Are those the OEM mini ape bars? If so, how do you like them with the forwads? I have a 2021 softail streetbob and I want to get forwards but not sure if I will need to get new bars/adjust to accomadte the new more leaned back position. Great video and directions btw! Thanks!
Yes sir. The bike had the stock apes fitted. I didn't feel like I had to reach for them with the forward controls. And even if you find yourself reaching for the bars after installing forwards you can just loosen the four mounting bolts on the riser clamp and roll the bars back to suit your riding position.
Got the chrome set and they're awesome. So much more comfortable being 6'1. Only issue is the chrome primary cosmetic plug doesn't fit! Typical, the very last part doesn't fit..
@@TheGingybeardMan yeah the chrome kit has a different plug than the black kit 🤔 Nothing a dab of silicone didn't fix. But the forward controls are great!
With all of the parts you install considering how long it takes to get to you due to your location it's hard to imagine parts you order that don't quite fit and you have to send them back. The whole process can test anyone's nerves.
No need to plug it as there is a steel sleeve which runs through the primary so dirt and debris can't fall into the primary. The plug is purely for aesthetics
Great video. You talked about Allan bolts to remove the footbracket. I have Torx bolts in there so why would that be? Still wondering if it's T40 or T45, the damn screws won't come off.
Great video man! Will be useful when I’ll install mines. Might be a lot to ask, but is there any chance you could write a list of the tools you used? Not sure I have everything at home. Many thanks, keep up the good work.
Is there not a hole on the internal side of that primary casing where the selector rod was poked through? Will that hit cause dirt to build up inside the casing or was the rod hole a tube which is sealed off from the inside of the casing?
No sir, inside that hole sits a steel insert which runs through to the otherside of the primary. This prevents any dirt from going into the primary housing. The small cap provided with the forward control kit is only for aesthetic purposes to cover the hole on the outside of the primary.
Sad that early forward kits came with an ill fitting chrome!!! primary casing plug, later versions come with a crinkle black painted plug fits exact with no exposed alloy. As a side is there plenty of clearance with the forwards from the TBR pipe ie not needing spacers that never came with my pipe or stickers : (
Help half way through putting forwards on but I'm stuck on my UK 22 street bob, what size is the Allen keys for the two bolts on the gear shift rods and the tool and size you used to get the gear rod at the back of the casing, can't ride till it's done none of my tools fit
I believe I used a T45 wrench. I had no issues with loosening the bolts but have heard a few people have had issues. If it's particularly tight I'd recommend applying heat to the bolt by using a blow torch or heat gun, that'll loosen the loctight 👍
hello. First of all thank you very much for the video. It has been a great help to me and I have been encouraged to install the advanced controls myself. I noticed that your Street Bob is wearing a fairing/dome. can you tell me where to get it? brand and model? I'm looking for something like this in Spain and I can't find anything. thanks for your answer.
@@TheGingybeardMan Thank you very much for the reply. I am going to see if it can be bought and sent to and from Spain. greetings and congratulations for the channel.
Nice work, man. I also have forward controls and a saddleman step up seat on my FXBB. I am 5'8", and after an hour of riding my back starts to hurt because of the position of my stock bars. My question is, do you feel like the Bung King risers place the bars closer or further away from you? I know they make a pullback version of those risers, but I am wondering what your thoughts are?
It's hard to say if the bung king risers have as much pullback as the stock bars, because the position of the stock bars are set by your dealership upon unboxing. The stock bars can be moved backwards and forwards so in theory our bars could have different positioning on purchase. I will say however the bung king risers and Cr high bend bars give a height increase of 2 inches so I now sit more upright, which is better for my back on long rides. I noticed when I changed to my whiplash slipstream seat from the saddleman seat I have to reach forward more for the bars as the slipstream seat sits me back further. Hope this helps.
@@TheGingybeardMan True, I could adjust the stock bars, but I try to keep them inline with the forks. Good point about them being higher than stock, which causes you to sit up a little more. I'll probably go with a 10 inch riser, 1 inch pull back.
I like the look of the memphis shades gauntlet fairing as it suits the club style look, however it doesnt provide much wind protection. Ive changed my bars to ape hangers so I won't be running a fairing anymore as im going for a different look 🖒
@@TheGingybeardMan Nice. That's funny, when I purchased the forward controls I ordered the HD Fat Mini Apes with all the associated parts I need to install. Hoping to have them in about 2 weeks.
Yes mate it's the exact same process in reverse. There will be no need to open the primary the gear selector shaft slides straight through the hole in the primary
What height person do you think would work well with with the forward controls. I want to go from mid to forward but I don't want to be stretching out too far.
Did fitting the forward controls address the issue you were having with upshifting to second? I've got a 2019 Street Bob and i'm having similar issues but while down shifting into to second.
The issue I was having with shifting into second stopped after the dealership replaced the transmission oil with synth 3 harley oil. I Also lowered my gear shift lever and the issue went away. That's when I still had mid controls fitted 👍
@@TheGingybeardMan Thanks for the swift reply. I will persevere with it for now and see what happens after it's first service and will adjust the shift lever. I'm looking to put forward controls on this year, so I really appreciate your video. Ride safe dude your bike looks awesome.
hey man does your bike have ABS? if so were there any problems? ive just bought a 2019 street bob, and i want to put forward controls on, the dealer is telling me that only they can put them on as the ABS needs to be bled. i find this hard to believe.. the install of forward controls does not look overly difficult.. ( i have done it already to my sporty).
Yes man my bike has ABS. The dealership is telling you porky pies (lies) there is no need to bleed your Abs. All you are doing is repositioning the master cylinder. there is no chance of air getting into the brake system.
Correct there is a hole which goes through both the inner and outter side of the primary. However there is a steel sleeve inside the hole which prevents anything from getting into the primary.
Looks great man. How long did it take you to install them? And Is there anywhere else I can buy forward controls for Dyna street bob 2010. HD sounds very expensive. Thanks mate
Thanks mate, it only took about an hour to install. Anuthing harley Davidson branded is expensive but it is quality stuff and lasts. That said I think you can buy cheap chinese forwards off eBay 👍
The softail street bobs have a different derby cover and gasket than the dyna street bob but the install is the same, providing you have the parts for your model
Have you got a picture of you, on the right side, in order to see the leg position / air filter? I have a cone heavy breath screamin eagle filter. I'm 180cm
The website I bought them off no longer has them in stock. They are the harley davidson brand forward controls. Google search that and they should pop up 👍
Apologies mate, It was a while ago that I did the install and I can't remember what size torx bits, sockets and hex bits I used. If however you have a decent tool kit it should get you by.
My local Aus dealer wants to charge me $400 to install... So off it but concerned about warranty. It's only 3 months old. Seriously looks like a half hour job.
Mate that is bloody crazy, it only took me an hour to install and that was because of filming aswell. If you have a little knowledge with tools it's a simple job.
I need some advise, I’m currently in the middle of installing forward controls on my 2019 street bob but the bolts that support my current control mounts are stripped to hell and no bolt removal kit seems to work. Any ideas on how I can remove those tight bastards?
@@TheGingybeardMan thanks for getting back! Yeah I did end up finding that vid solid. How do you like having the larger tank? I was trying to see if the low riders tank would fit our bike. Seems no one has done it. Currently you appear to be the only one on YT that did a swap here.
@@objinformation any softail tank from 2018 up will fit our bikes as they all have the exact same frames. The larger tank is one of my favourite mods I've done to the bike 👍
Is there a specific tool kit you'd reccomend getting to do this? I am going to install the forward controls, a fairing, saddlebags and im just curious if theres a kit that will have all the tools I need to get this all done. 2018 street bob*
Hey mate there is no particular kit that I can recommend. I have a pretty extensive tool kit myself which cost over $1800 and includes everything I need to enable me to do all jobs. Everything from wrenches, screwdrivers, hex sockets, torx sockets, soldering iron, pliers you name it. I've used all these tools on my bike at one time or another. For the jobs you want to do I'd say purchase a standard 40 set of sockets which includes both imperial/metric bits, purchase a torx socket set and hex socket set, also a decent set of wrenches including both metric and /imperial wrenches. With the use of my ratchets for the sockets I also used extensions to help with the hard to reach places and to assist with leverage on particularly tight bolts which have loctight on them. Mates it's very hard to list the exact tools and sizes of sockets I've used as I have everything needed and can't remember exactly as I did the mods a while ago now. If you do purchase some tools make sure you're confident with using them as I'd hate for you to damage your bike mate 👍

With the use of my ratchets for the sockets I also used extensions to help with the hard to reach places and to assist with leverage on particularly tight bolts which have loctight on them.
Mates it's very hard to list the exact tools and sizes of sockets I've used as I have everything needed and can't remember exactly as I did the mods a while ago now.
If you do purchase some tools make sure you're confident with using them as I'd hate for you to damage your bike mate 👍

So only 1 plug for the primary???
Leaves a hole on the inside for dust n crap to get into the primary
Seems a bit stupid?
It's not a hole but a closed tube across the primary covers. Dirt can't get into the primary.
