On long-distance rides, the factory placement of the brake pedal and gear shifter on your bike might not be the most comfortable experience. Traditionally, these all-important controls come positioned directly under the rider’s seat near the foot pegs. While this is convenient for riding around town, you might want to change your position multiple times and maintain an upright position, the placement and resulting posture could be exhaustive on long highway drives. To help deal with this situation, many manufacturers of aftermarket accessories offer motorcycle forward controls. This allows the bikers to hold a more comfortable posture for long-distance riding. The forward controls will allow the riders to assume a more comfortable, reclined position without sacrificing the control or agility of their bike.
