I bought this forward control set to put on a bike that I'm flipping. The first set showed up in a cardboard ball (I'm sure it was box at one point). The contents were obviously used and the repackaged horridly. This lead to the "powder coating" to be scratched up, not to mention missing parts that were able to leak out of the aforementioned cardboard ball. Clearly the vendor never inspected the returning shipment and just placed a new shipping label on it to re-ship. Returned this set and requested a new set.The new set was in much better shape. However, even they had some slight damage from poor packaging. The damage was minor enough that I was able to overlook it.The build quality is decent. The components are definitely milled on a CNC. However, the QA/QC is certainly lacking. I had two issues that needed to be resolved. The first issue was that one spacer was .080" shorter than the rest. How this happens is beyond me. I ended up shortening one of the other spacers in a lathe so I had a matching set. Alternately, I could have "built up" the short one by stacking a washer on it. The second issue I had was that the rear brake lever had the wrong size hole and would not accept the heim joint for the pushrod, so I had to drill that out. Neither of these were show stoppers, but would have been showstoppers for someone who may not have been as mechanically inclined.In terms of operation, they seem decent. The rear brake does seem slightly spongy due to flex in the mount, but still works well. It would be nice if there was more adjustment on the pushrods, but again, you get what you pay for. Also, the heim joints and pushrods are threaded the same on both ends, so you have to remove one of the heim joints to make any adjustments. Otherwise, you're just moving the rod back and forth in the threads.In the end, they get the job done for a great price. You may have to put a little extra effort into getting them installed and dialed in, but they're okay for the money.

Perfect fit on my 2011 Harley sportster xl883l! Instructions were not included but after requesting and very promptly receiving an expanded parts list and diagram, the installation was a snap. As recommended, I did have to remove the crash bar/engine guard assembly as they would have interfered with the operation of the shift arm and the brake pedal. Not a big deal when you end up with a more relaxing foot/leg position for riding!

Great looking at a fraction of the price of OEM , quality billet aluminum, installation is super simple! Highly recommend!

Missing parts when I ordered. The second package still had missing parts but extra parts that I already had. They can’t read an email correctly. The pegs that I ordered are great but overall is garbage. I still got the wrong bolts that connect the controls to the bike and had to go to Lowe’s to get the correct size bolts.

Install instructions were alright for most part. Good luck on getting support from seller on amazon though, you will have to go trhough manufacturer's website so that's a bummer. I kept getting rejections for assistance with questions such as what is the spring used for. Did get controls installed, they DON'T rub my cycleshack pipes which is awesome, both harley OEM and some others I got on amazon did. These are adjustable within reason and are comfortable. Great quality hardware from what I can tell.When assembling I recommend blue loctite on everything. Also, on the grey retainers for the shifting mechanism I put on light costing of axle grease to prevent binding and premature wear of the retainer. 1500 miles and no problems!-- update 12/29/19So I'm reducing by a star due to inability to put different footrest on. The mount for the clevis peg is centered on mount so unless you make your own adapters to fit in there and then tap then attached new footrest like most aftermarket, your stuck. Even if the clevis peg was near edge, there's about an inch from edge to edge so the foot rests just drop, no edge to but up to.
