    Looks like these would fit our bikes but before I go and try to find some to measure has anyone done this already?

    I know TC has a forward control set but I like these and for only about $75 more once you add the needed kit to the TC kit the factory harley set MAY BE a quality advantage.

    Thanks for any input.

    For me it has nothing to do with who makes them but more the long term smoothness of the controls.

    I do not know the following from having a set or been told but just an observation;

    It seams like the surface area that the TC set has (only the thickness of the plate) would lead to wear and side to side motion where the HD set has a wider contact point and would not wear as badly and be smoother in the long run.

    Again just an observation not a quality problem that I have heard of at all.

    See what I am talking about? The plate that rotates has a narrow contact point and it seams as though that would dig into the the shaft it is rotating on and wear greater.
