It helps if you have long legs and need the room. It simply moves the controls forward. Feet feel like they are right above the ground. Pegs scrape on the ground if you turn to sharp. Need to find somewhere to find the horn, and you will need to forget about any consideration of mounting an engine guard because it won't allow for it. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you?

It added some comfort, but I was a little diasapointed as I could have used a little more length. That being said, the kit was high quality and installed easily. I recommend this kit. IMHO,after the kit was installed, the peg location should be the standard factory location. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Brake hose fix: (the one on the backside (laying on) the exhaust pipe- detach hose (temporarily), then carefully turn the elbow to accomodate the hose going BEHIND the exhaust pipe- where it should have been all along - reattach, and with the help of a self brake bleeder from the local auto parts store - after install and tightening all- bleeding brakes was an easy job!

It would have been nice to go out and up another inch or so. But I am very happy with them. I have had a couple 11 hour days and I had no complaints. Install was a bit of a pain. I had to drill out some of the holes to make them fit and it would be nice if it came with a longer break line. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

I want to either get a smaller horn or relocate the horn because the sound has changed in its current location. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(4 stars) reviewed on 01/02/07 by jay wadsworth (captjay) from Crawfordville, FL, United States, for a 2002 Silver 1800 VTX1800C wrote: I installed them in a couple of hours but ran into one small problem. The rubber brake hose from the reservoir to the brake piston will not reach around the Vance and Hines Long Shot pipes I have. I'm am in the process of looking for a solution and then will have to bleed the rear brake before hitting the road. I do the like the added stretch for my legs. I'm 5'10" and it seems to be a better fit than stock. Review Details  4 out of 4 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(4 stars) reviewed on 07/17/06 by Chuck W. (Chuckw) from Aiken, SC, United States, for a 2002 1800 VTX1800C wrote: Took some time to put on but I like the fit and the look. You will need to bleed the rear brake. Kuryakyn dosen't tell you that if you have aftermarket pipes that you will have to replace or extend (about 2 inches) the rear brake reservoir hose. When I finished the installation, the rubber hose layed across my exhaust pipe. I took my bike to a buddy who has a motorcylce repair shop and asked him to extend the hose and bleed my rear brake. He did not have to add any hose. He simply turned the nipple that connects the hose to the mastercylinder 90 degrees towards the bike and ran the hose behind the pipe. He then used a black zip-tie and strapped the hose to the frame to make sure it did not come in contact with the pipe. It looks cleaner now because the hose is behind the pipe and not in front. I wish Kuryakyn would have put a replacement steel braided hose in the kit. That would look SWEET! Review Details  37 out of 37 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?
