since the stebel nautilus was just a horn replacement, I didn't really count that as customising, Just fitted 2 inch risers tonight, still waiting for forward control kit to arrive.

What brand of forward controls?

I did similar on one of my bikes, although I didn't need the rise as much as I needed more stretchin my arms. I solved that by reversing the way the risers sit in the trees.

Ah had a look. It's more of a relocation kit with additional hardware to allow for the further stretch.

Drop me an email. I'd be interested in hearing about the install and your opinion on the kit, and run it in the magazine

BTW.. I got my forward controls from Refined Cycles. They don't do kits for bully bikes, but if you think the 3 1/2" forward of your kit is luxury, mine is 10" forward and 1" up!

I'll be making my own forward relocation kit for the bobber I'm building, but I'm running a suicide shift so it won't need any additional hardware to make the shifter work.

I wouldn't fit a 10" kit on the M50, I'd have my feet in the front wheel! The controls are already forward, but I'm 6'3" so any extra stretch is appreciated. I'm not much of a writer, but see what I can do. Hope to get fitted this weekend.

Took the bike out last night, I definitely love the 2 inch risers. May not seem much, but makes a huge difference to comfort.
