Supreme
Legends USA FAQ's
|
General
|
1. Which is easier to maintain: Polished
or Chrome? |
Polished:
First, Supreme Legends
polishes our products to a show quality, chrome-like luster.
To achieve this finish, we use multiple polishing compounds and
only ship the items when we are completely satisfied with the
finish. Please keep in mind, polished forward controls do take
more time & effort to keep that high luster appearance. We
recommend wiping the polished forward controls after each ride
with a quality aluminum polish. |
Chrome:
Supreme Legends chromes
all products prior to assembly. We hold our quality of chrome
to the highest standards and guarantee you will be impressed
by the finish. To keep your products looking brand new, we recommend
that you simply wipe down all chrome components with a damp cloth
after every ride. |
|
2. What
do I do if my chrome chips or peels? |
Supreme Legends offers
a 1-year limited warranty on chrome. In the event you have any
problems with your chrome, simply return the forward controls
to us. If the chrome is determined to be flawed due to manufacturers
defect, we will replace it free of charge. If however, the chrome
was damaged as a result of a road hazard, poor maintenance or
some other circumstance, Supreme Legends will not be responsible
for repair or replacement. |
|
3. What
kind of warranty does Supreme Legends offer with their product? |
All products manufactured
by Supreme Legends come with an 18 month manufacture's defect
policy. In the event your product is found to have a defect,
we reserve the right to replace or repair the item according
to our discretion.
In the event your product
was not manufactured by Supreme Legends, your product will be
warranted in accordance with the original manufacturers warranty. |
|
4. How
easy is it to install Supreme Legends products on my bike? |
Although it is relatively
easy to install Supreme Legends products on most bikes, we recommend
that you have your local bike shop install all items. Because
we do not recommend that our retail customers do their own install,
we do not provide instructions for installation. If you have
chosen to install your own products and have run into difficulties
please contact Supreme Legends and we can provide you with a
dealer in your area that may be able to assist you. |
|
Forward
Controls |
1. How
do I know if Supreme Legends forward controls will fit my bike? |
With the exception
of Harley-Davidson Sportsters, the Classic, Pro-Smooth
& Premium controls will fit most Softail's (FXST) Dyna's,
and FXR's for years 1958 to present. We have tested our product
on most models. To ensure proper fit of Supreme Legends forward
controls, we must know the make, model & year of your bike.
While exceptions may exist, we have made every effort in designing
our products to be as universal in application as possible. |
|
2. What
finishes can I order my forward controls in? |
We offer Classic
& Pro-Smooth forward controls in polished, chrome & anodized
finishes. |
|
3. Do Supreme
Legends forward controls come with foot pegs? |
Yes, the controls
come complete, as pictured |
|
4. Does
mounting hardware come with my forward controls? |
Yes, all our forward
controls come complete with mounting bolts. |
|
5. What
is the difference between the Classic and Pro-Smooth forward
controls? |
Both controls are
manufactured using the exact same process. The basic difference
is the contoured look & the folding foot pegs that come standard
on the Pro-Smooth. All of the edges have rounded radii and most
of the hardware has been recessed and/or hidden from immediate
view. The folding pegs on the Pro-Smooth extend out approximately
1¾" longer than the fixed/rigid pegs on the Classic.
Additionally, the 3 rubber bands on the Pro-Smooth are equal
size, whereas the Classic utilizes a center band that is slightly
wider than the outer bands. |
|
6. My bike
model has a designation other than FXST, but I know it's a Softail? |
We understand that
Harley-Davidson has made various Softail models & has created
different variations of the FXST designation. However, the mounting
bolt patterns are the same for all variations of the Softail,
including Fat Boy, from 1984-1999 (3 mounting bolts on the left
side, 2 on the right side). All 2000-present Softails, including
Fat Boy, utilize a different mounting pattern (3 mounting bolts
on either side) from the earlier bikes. All Softail models have
the kickstand mounted on the left side forward control. When
purchasing a set of forward controls for a 2000-present Softail,
a 1999 & earlier kickstand bracket is required to re-mount
your factory kickstand. |
|
7. My bike
model a designation other than Dyna, but I know it's a Dyna? |
We understand that
Harley-Davidson has made various Dyna models & has created
different variations of the FXD designation. However, the mounting
bolt patterns are the same for all variations of the Dyna models.
On this model, the kickstand is mounted to the frame. Both the
brake side & shifter side have 2 mounting bolts, spaced 1½"
apart, center-to-center. |
|
8. My bike
model has a designation other than FXR, but I know it's a FXR? |
We understand that
Harley-Davidson has made various FXR models & has created
different variations of the FXR designation. However, the mounting
bolt patterns are the same for all variations of the FXR models,
except for certain year Sturgis models (requires Dyna application).
The kickstand is mounted to the frame on all FXR's. Both the
brake side & the shifter side have 2 mounting bolts, spaced
2" apart, center-to-center. |
|
9. My bike
is an Touring (FL) model; do your forward controls fit my bike? |
We understand that
Harley-Davidson has made many Touring models over the years &
has created different variations of the FL designation. However,
the mounting bolt patterns are the same as FXSTs for all
variations of the FL from 1958-1999 (3 mounting bolts on the
left side, 2 on the right side). All 2000-present FL's utilize
a different mounting pattern from the earlier bikes. All FL models
have the kickstand mounted on the left side foot control. Please
note, some late model applications may require modification to
the mounting points on the bike frame. |
|
10. My
bike is a custom Hardtail, Softail, Chopper, etc??? Which application
do I need? |
Mostly likely your
bike will use a FXST application. Please refer to the previous
questions to determine the proper mount for your bike. In the

offered only in standard position for FXST's and only 1½"
extended for Dyna's and FXR's. However, 3" extension plates

|
18. How
do I know if I need extended forward controls? |
Supreme Legends recommends
that if you are between 6'0" and 6'4", you consider
purchasing 2" extended controls forward controls. This will
enable you to obtain a more comfortable leg position and thus
enjoy a better ride. 3" extended forward controls are recommended
for riders over 6'4". |
|
19. Do
you offer folding front foot pegs? |
Yes, Supreme Legends
offers folding front foot pegs on all controls, excluding ribbed
or diamond controls. |
|
20. Can
I replace the: front foot pegs, shifter toe peg and/or brake
toe peg? |
Yes, all of the
pegs are removable. However, we recommend that you make sure
the pegs you are going to use as replacements have the same thread
count and bore size as those provided with the forward controls. |
|
21. Can
I change the position of the shifter & brake arms? |
Yes & no, both
sides can be adjusted on our Classic & Pro-Smooth controls.
However, Supreme Legends forward controls are assembled to a
very high tolerance and it is not recommended that retail customers
disassemble any component of the forward controls for safety
reasons. Please have your local bike shop or builder make any
adjustments for you. |
|
22. Do
you offer matching rear/passenger pegs and/or grips? |
Yes, we have matching
rear pegs and grips for each of our controls. Please refer to
the corresponding web pages for descriptions & part #'s. |
|
23. Tell
me about the master cylinder you use with your forward controls. |
Supreme Legends
manufactures the master cylinder housing in-house. We offer an
11/16" bore with our controls. Supreme Legends master cylinders
are designed to work with 99.9% of braking systems currently
available and are D.O.T. 5 ready. |
|
24. Why
doesn't Supreme Legends supply the brake line and shift linkage? |
The brake line required
for installation varies with bike model and year. Thus, we recommend
you consult your local dealer for the proper application. We
do not supply a shift linkage with our forward controls because
off the dizzying array of options currently on the market. As
such, we leave it to the owners discretion to order a standard
polished or chrome shift linkage or a designer billet or stainless
steel linkage. |
|
25. Do
Supreme Legends forward controls use bearings or bushings? |
Supreme Legends
has determined that bushings are a far better application on
forward controls than bearings. Additionally, Harley-Davidson
uses bushings in their stock controls.
Supreme Legends uses
a special oil saturated bushing that is guaranteed to last for
the life of the forward controls. Bearings are best used in an
application where the component rotates in excess of 180 degrees.
The application in a forward control rotates less than 10 degrees.
Thus, the surface area friction with bushings is distributed
over a greater area, causing less stress on the applied area. |
|
26. I can't
seem to maintain pressure in my master cylinder after I bleed
the brake system. Is there something wrong with the unit? |
Because of the
many variables that exist relative to fitting custom parts on
your bike, there a few simple steps that need to be taken, to
ensure proper brake actuation. First, make sure that the set
nut on the brake rod is backed off to allow at least 1"
of front-to-back free play in the brake arm. Now, bleed you brakes
according to standard procedure. Lastly, once a solid & consistent
brake pressure has been achieved, adjust the brake arm free play
to your liking.
If your are still having
difficulty maintaining pressure, you may have small concentrations
of air in the system. Supreme Legends recommends that your local
dealer power bleed your line, while following the procedure outlined
above. |
