Here's my .02. I found a web page for a guy that made his own. He gives
Harley part #s and complete instructions on how he did it.
This is a do it yourselfers project. The non-mechanically inclined need not
apply. :-)

I used forward controls from a Harley on a Honda Chopper. I had to
fabricate
some brackets to match the mounting holes on the Honda to the holes on the
controls. It took a bit of fiddling but wasn't all that hard. I used
controls off a 70 HD that operated the brake pedal with a rod. Newer units
have the master cylinder right on the controls and will need new brake
lines.
I found mine at a swap meet for about $50.00.
