Well, I have some plans in my head and down on paper, however I would like to finish them first. Basically using 1 3/8 tubing and 1 1/8 tubing and some 7/8 bolts wrapped in heater hose. I will try to get them finished so you can see.

| I also have some controls in my head but thats as far as they have made it. I was also considering using some wrenchs as hardware so that I could make the control foot pedal angle adjustable. I'd like to see others ideas.

I bought forward controls off EvilBay that are specifically made for the XS650's. The quality is pretty good.

I'm almost done building the bike so I'll let you know. But from the looks of it, they seem pretty high and will have enough height/clearance not hit.

Leaky,
Ever finish your bike with the TC Bros forward controls? I see you have the concave pegs. What is your opinion of these pegs now that you have had a chance to use them?
I want to put FWC's on my 77 standard.
Thanks,
