Forward Thinking | Long-Term 2009 Harley Davidson Street Bob Project Bike

12. Next, Todd installed the pivot shaft into the brake pedal and connected the brake pedal to the bracket, connecting the footrest mount clevis and tightening the assembly down with a TORX screw.

14. ...he mounted the Silencer brake pedal pad and the forward control relocation was complete.

15. After we installed the passenger pillion pad, we needed a set of footpeg supports for the passenger. Todd simply bolted the wrinkle black supports to both sides of the swingarm and then mounted the Silencer footpegs in place.

16. Next up were the grips. Todd unscrewed the switch housing bolts to remove the throttle and idle cables from the stock grip, and then he donated the stockers to the biker gods.

17. The new Silencer grip fit in between the switch housing with ease, but before Todd tightened the housing he installed the throttle/idle cables onto the new grip and finished by properly adjusting them. For the left-side grip, he simply unscrewed the switch housing bolts, slid the new grip in place, and tightened the switch housing back up.

18. Now on to Satin Chrome! To get the covers off on the pipe side, Todd removed the exhaust system. Then he simply removed the stock grey powdercoated trans cover, removing the clutch cable/ball and ramp assembly, and retaining rings, and then he installed them into the Satin Chrome cover and tightened it to the trans.

19. The stock cam cover came right off, and the new Satin Chrome cam cover slid right on with a new gasket.

20. He reinstalled the exhaust and made the proper adjustments to the clutch, filled the primary with fluid, and installation was complete.

21. No more grasshopper! Not that the mid controls are bad, but we like forwards on certain models better, this being one of them. As you can see, our legs are now able to stretch out a bit more, adding more comfort to those longer hauls. And we feel the Satin Chrome covers added a nice contrast to the overall look of the bike.
