Forward Controls by Roadsmith

Has anyone tried the new forward controls by RS? There're suppose to move the foot controls down and forward on a GW.

Yep, I got them installed at Wing Ding here in Fort Wayne, IN....they are costly but they do help out with the foot position. If you have the aqua shields or other lower faring under your foot controls, you have to be sure the shifter will not bottom out on them, also I need to put a brake pedal attachment on the pedal to raise it just a bit. They feel great.......

I had the Comfort Controls installed by K D Cycle where I bought my trike from. They really do make a difference in the comfort of your foot placement. Although your legs are not stretched out as they are with the Harleys, I can say that with the Comfort Controls, your feet are in a more 'natural' position and not as cramped and bent as they were with the standard configuration.

When I picked up my trike. I purposely sat on another GW trike they had on site and then back on mine. The difference was definitely noticeable. Granted, these are not cheap by any means. And I'm sure each one of us has their own definition of what level of comfort they're willing to pay for. For me, these new Comfort Controls tipped the scales in favor of going with a GoldWing as I never felt comfortable with the stock foot position even on my previous Valkyrie trike. I hope this information helps.
