    Forward controls for the xj 750 seca...

    I have built a set that works great, but htey are UGLY...but they do hug the bike nicely...I will be providing pics of these later this week, and feel free to ask me any questions you have...I have made considerable mods to my Seca...
    The controls are made from the factory foot pegs and a aluminum bracket that i designed...shifter is basically stock for the left foot, just relocated onto the bracket...and the brake pedal is from a go-cart....Norhtern tool is where I got mine...you have to gring it a bit...very cheap to build, takes about 4 hours to construct...but you might have to have the aluminum cut by a machine shop...1/4" is kinda thick...the cuts are curved as well...
    anyway, I am 6'5" 240 pounder, and the new controls are really comfortable...
    I can be contacted at 678 725-1296....Thanks,
    Tyler

    here is my forward controls. i modified a set of highway pegs to make them. not the best looking but hey i can stand on them and there is no flex.

    to see them check out my gallery. if you would like more detailed pictures and how i made them let me know. total cost was about $70 USD

    Plainjane could you take some real close pic's? I like the style you built. Did you buy the controls and mount them to the bracket or make them yourself? I have been wanting to do this for over a year now. Now I know it can be done. Lots of pictures from all angels would really help.
    Thanks.
