Flat Top Forward Controls - Getting Control

From Supreme Legends USA

By Ernie Lopez, Photography by Ernie Lopez

Supreme Legends USA is not a new company to the motorcycle industry, it has been around for over 15 years, and is most notably known for its hand and foot controls. With new ownership of the company, brothers Bill and Jim Rebensdorf have reinvented Supreme Legends to make sure that product quality and customer service are better than ever. The Rebensdorf family acquired the company outright in October 2007, and has been working hard to put the name and the product at the top of the list of must-have parts. The controls come cosmetically redesigned with a 3/4-inch bore master cylinder, and an industry leading 18-month warranty. With a large amount of styles to choose from and even a lineup for the metric and Victory rides there is something for anyone looking to swap out stock controls for a custom set.

We needed to add some foot controls on one of our bikes here at the shop, so we checked out the Supreme Legends website to find some controls with style to fit our hardtail. After looking at over 24 different sets of forward controls that Supreme Legends has to offer, we went with the ball-mill-cut Flat Top forward controls, which are new for this year. The Flat Tops are a good looking set with matching passenger pegs to add a nice look to the bike, and come with all the hardware to make for an easy install.
