    Repositioning foot controls??

    Hey all, haven't posted much as of late due to my project being on the back burner. But now that the snow has melted (finally) I pulled my bike out to get back to it . I'm also not positive as to where this should be posted... ANYWAYS...

    One of the things I'm looking to do at some point if at all possible is move the foot controls either forward, or rearward depending on what style or shape of handlebars I decide to install. I am a tall and lanky SOB (6'6" ~175 lbs on a good day) and I would like to not look like I'm riding a pocket bike... Are there kits available to do this? Or would simiply creating new peg mounts and lengthening the control levers be a better option? (Within reason of course) I like this bike a lot and would like to keep it for a long time but I just plain don't fit as "naturally" as I could

    Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated! -Andy

      www.fastfromthepast.com sell rearsets if you want to go back....

      Also think about adding an inch or 2 of foam to your seat to give you more peg to seat top height (or using a much harder foam that doesn't compress like the stocker)....

          There have been a few who have built their own and possibly some universal kits that might work. Do a site search for "forward controls".

          a rare outsider and was only built until 1983. Who still has one, it gives her so little.

              B'duh... Lol found essentially what I was looking for, they don't "manufacture" a kit. Thanks guys for the responses! -Andy
