Forward controls

Ditto for me....6'2", I'm so much more comfortable on my FXDL. Never go back.

Ditto on that. When I bought my Street Bob, it had forward controls already installed. The problem is, although they are comfortable for awhile, my legs eventually get tired in that position and I have no where to go from there. My stator rotor recently blew up, so while I have the chain case off, I'm reinstalling mid controls. I'll get a set of "highway" pegs and then have two options to rest my legs. Also I feel more in control of the bike when braking, shifting, and slow-speed maneuvering from the mid control position. But then there's the other argument that if you are cruising with your feet on "highway" pegs, in an emergency, there's that split second it takes you to move your feet down to the mid pegs to take action...

QehQeh, not just a feeling but reality, as having mid controls moves the center of gravity to the center of the bike directly under the rider, especially when running on stutter bumps in either a straight line or a curve. It is the a main reason behind the "mass centralization" design ideas for racing as the bike pivots easily when the mass is centered within the wheel axis...
