To get started the first thing Wink did was remove the right side floorboard from the We are moving forward with customizing the “Old Iron,” our ‘04 Road King. The last thing we did was add a Barnett’s Scorpion Billet Belt Drive adding to a real custom look. We are trying to go from a stock touring bike to just a little over the top, but not too crazy of bagger. On the last install we had noticed that the Barnett’s setup would not let us run with floorboards. The backing plate of the belt drive didn’t have a boss for the pivot rod for the shift linkage to mount to. So we had to go with a set of forward controls. We did a bit of research to find out that there are not a lot of companies making forwards for baggers. But what we did find was a cool set from Accutronix Motorcycle Products called the Diamond, in a dark Black Anodized finish. 02.

Next, Wink installed the footpeg mounting plate using thread locker on all the mounti The Accutronix controls are cool because you can combine any shift and brake arm with any footpeg and shift peg to match your bike’s style. The controls are made from 6061-T-6 billet aluminum with a 3⁄4-inch mounting plate, stainless steel splined shafts for adjustment, sealed roller bearings, and stainless steel splined inserts. With a starting price of around $900 (check with your local dealer for style and price) this was a real nice looking set and was easy to install. We had the bike over at Winks Custom Cycles in Orange, California where the motor master was working hard getting ready for a race but took the time to help us out by installing the controls as we took a few photos.

Once the control was mounted the next thing Wink did was install the shift linkage. First he bolted the Heim joint at the shift arm on the transmission, and then installed the other side of the rod to the control arm.
