I found the scraping quite distrubing. I had previously owned a Deuce and a 07 CVO Springer both with forward controls and rarely touched anything. I first put on Progressive shocks, keep you money in your wallet, not much help if any at all. I then put on forward controls off a FX Softail. Problem solved and I love the bike. I also found the boards were annoying at freeway speeds at certain RPMs, my feet would tend to wander back all the time. The forward controls are a godsend. The seat although was comfortable before is even better now since my body is canted slightly different.

could you post some pictures of the other side with the kick stand down and up please? I am looking into doing the same thing maybe. How did it affect your reach to the shifter and brake? Do they feel closer or farther than stock?
Thanks again

The actual floor board may drag a little, but the bracket usually hits first. It took me a while to get use to the lean angle and I still scrape them in the mountains. See the picture of my bracket, the floor board only has a really small scratch on it.
