Just curious about your front wheel. Do you know if the wheel axle from the Street OEM fit in that sportster wheel or did they make a custom wheel axle so that it would fit on the Street forks?

I have a 2003 FX 19 inch 13 spoke wheel that has to be drilled out to accommodate the 25mm kit. Not sure I want to go this route. A bloke in Aussie 500 fb page said it was a snap with the 2008 sportster iron. Just my 2 cents here. hope this helps.
Hi @JMHD, in post #22 back on April 18, 2019. the bike seems to have a footrest in front of the brake pedal. I assume that there is one on the other side too, but how are they attached to the bike? Also, the more recent images show forward controls, but what is the bottle above the gear shifter next to the radiator, on the left side of the bike? Cheers, Steve.

There are several accessories that mount to the lower front engine mount bolts. Engine guards and forward controls typically use that as a mounting point. There is at least one manufacturer in India that mounts what he calls "crash rods" there. They are basically stubby little posts that come out on each side and have rubber on them to serve as foot pegs.
Thanks @PugslyCat I have bookmarked their site, last time I was putting in some miles on the expressway I felt I could use something like this. They look quite wide for lane splitting which is legal here in Australia though so maybe something to put on for the long haul ride and leave off for the daily commute.
