There is an adjuster on the shift linkage side, you may have to adjust it so it's actually pushing far enough to engage the next gear.

Awesome, I'm sure you'll enjoy the forwards as much as I have! I've been lucky this past week, off work and great weather=riding every day. I've put in about 600 miles this past week, and I've gotta give the slitherin seat, the forwards, and the riser extensions an A+. It's like a completely different bike.

hey guys, I told you I'd come back. Lookin at the Mapam forward ctrls as well. Is there a much different feel to them over stock, or are they simply a cosmetic mod? I'd like a little more room under the gear shift if possible. Anyone got a more detailed description of them and there functional use if any?

Ok, so before I get bashed on this, go fuck YOURself.. I found another post related to the install of fwd ctrls and read the whole thing. I now see the light and what they do. Though I'd still like someones take on them. Do I need them? Are they for the tall only? At 5'7" will they hinder me as a beginer rider? And lastly, can the stocker be adjusted at all..? Thanx
