GMA Forward Control Kit

GMA Engineering Forward Control Kits: Precision Billet Craftsmanship for Custom Harley Builds

When it comes to relocating foot controls for a more comfortable, stretched-out riding position on a classic Harley-Davidson, few names carry the weight of GMA Engineering. Their Forward Control Kits have become a go-to choice for Softail riders and custom builders who demand a combination of functional engineering and clean, purposeful aesthetics.

What Sets GMA Forward Control Kits Apart

GMA Engineering's forward control kits are distinguished by their use of billet aluminum construction. CNC-machined from billet aluminum, these kits deliver dimensional accuracy and a refined finish that cast or stamped alternatives simply can't match. Each kit integrates a 5/8-inch bore master cylinder directly into the assembly, streamlining the brake system and reducing clutter on the bike — a detail that separates a truly custom build from a bolt-on afterthought.

Perhaps most importantly, GMA Forward Control Kits are made in the U.S.A. For custom builders and Harley purists, domestic manufacturing means tighter quality oversight, consistent machining tolerances, and accountability in every component.

Fitment and Finish Options

GMA's forward control kits are engineered specifically for 1984–1999 Harley-Davidson Softail platforms, covering popular models including the Fat Boy, Heritage Softail Classic, Springer Softail, Night Train, Softail Custom, and Bad Boy, among others. This fitment precision ensures that each kit installs cleanly without modification to the frame or primary components.

Available in polished, chrome, and gloss black finishes, GMA gives riders the flexibility to match their control kit to the existing aesthetic of their build — whether they're chasing the mirror-shine of a show-ready chopper or the understated menace of a blacked-out bobber.

Engineering Philosophy: Streamlined, Not Simplified

GMA describes their forward controls as designed to be the most streamlined available — a philosophy that treats every surface and casting as an opportunity to reduce visual noise without compromising function. The result is a control kit that looks intentional on both stock motorcycles and full custom builds, including rigid-frame choppers and bobbers that share the same mounting architecture as classic Softail models.
