Twisted Choppers Sportster To Softail Forward Control Adapters For Harley-Davidson Sportster

Solve the problem of limited aftermarket foot control options for your Sportster build. These adapters allow you to bolt 1984-1999 Harley-Davidson Softail forward controls directly onto your 1957-2003 Sportster engine mounts. By adapting your frame to accept Big Twin controls, you gain access to a massive catalog of aftermarket styles and finishes that are otherwise unavailable for the XL platform. Designed and manufactured in the USA by Twisted Choppers.

Technical Specifications
  • Material: Heavy-duty steel construction for maximum rigidity
  • Installed Width: 12 Inch (measured on stock frames)
  • Mounting Point: Bolts directly to factory front motor mounts (standard 2-bolt Sportster pattern)
  • Control Compatibility: Accepts standard 1984-1999 Softail (FXST) backing plates and master cylinders
  • Origin: Made in the U.S.A.
Key Features
  • Drastically expands foot control options for Sportster owners.
  • Simple bolt-on installation requires no welding for most applications.
  • Robust plate design ensures zero flex during heavy braking or shifting.
  • Allows for a wider, more comfortable riding stance.
  • Precision laser-cut steel for perfect alignment and durability.
Installation and Fitment Notes
  • Oil Filter Exclusion: Will NOT fit 1983-Early 1984 models equipped with the oil filter integrated into the motor mount.
  • Customization Required: 1975-1976 models with specific linkage and drum brake setups require customization to function properly.
  • Shift Pattern: Pre-1977 right-side shift Sportsters must use Softail controls configured for right-side operation.
  • Verify your specific frame era (Ironhead vs. Evolution) to select the correct variation from the dropdown menu.

Q & A

Ask a question
Which Softail forward controls work with these adapters for a 1972 Sportster with a right-side shift? Craig Thorpe asked on March 8, 2023

Any of our forward controls for 84-99 FXST models will work with these adapters. You will need to request in the order notes that it be set up for a right-side shift.

Which forward controls can be used on a '75 Sportster with your Sportster to Softail adapters? The '75 and '76 model years have a weird linkage and drum brake. Casey asked on January 20, 2023

We do not make anything specifically for those setups. Our forward controls could be used but they would require some customization on your part.
