    It might be difficult to have engine guards and forward controls at the same time.

    I had engine guards with pegs on them when I got my bike. Later I made forward controls.

    There's several writeups and pics on this site for them.

    TCbros choppers makes a kit.

    All that said, I'm 6'4 and I love mine. Wouldn't go back. I did leave the stock foot pegs in place just for an alternate in case I felt like changing leg position on a long ride.

    thank you for the information i will see what i can find and check out that company. as far as the engine guards not really looking to keep them i would rather be comfortable on a long ride than have something that is functional but seems mainly for looks.

    PM me an e-mail address and I'll send it. I think they're 07 but maybe 10 format.

    I think you can download CAD viewer for free if you don't have the software, but can't confirm. I know at work we use to viewer to keep from buying so many full CAD licenses. Good luck with your mods!

    yeah you can download the viewer but I don't know how well it'll handle the 3d solids in the drawing.

    You can also get the demo version for 30 days.
