A few years ago I saw a Triumph with a kick ass set of forwards, of course the owner had bought the bike with them on and was clueless as to their origin, there was no identifying marks on them.
Basically, they had a about a 1 3/4" tube coming off the motor mount to a plate. On the plate was a seperate brake/shifter pedal and footrest, similar to forward control available of every other bike. It just looked good, and nothing like the el cheapo BCS setup, which everyone seems to copy (although I'm sure they are not original, and eveyone else's quality HAS to be better than those).
The 'plate' approach would also lend itself to putting a master cylinder on if one were inclined to run juice rear brakes (a good idea if one is contemplating no front brake).
I could make some, but then they'd look like I made them, and that's probably not good.
