I have this great 70s-era FL, and I'm most interested in running it, not restoring it.
But I can't stand the "forward controls" that are really just foot pegs, with the clutch (left side) and brake (right side) above and *behind* the pegs. It makes it dang near impossible to feather the clutch, and my response time is WAY too slow on the brake, when I have to pick my foot up and fly it around hoping to hit the pedal.
So ... I don't think I want floorboards with this style of ride, but I really need a way to get the control down and in front or just above the foot rests. Not interested in gong back to a hand clutch (for now) and will likely keep the mechanical rear brake, so I want something simple.
I have access to a guy with a mill and could probably make a mount, but surely somebody has solved this problem in the 60+ years that the FL has been around?
