"Further Forward" mid controls

I should note I have never ridden with forward controls, I don't even stretch my legs out to my crash bar for more than 5-10 minutes. So I don't have much to compare in the ways of forwards vs further forwards for you. All that out of the way.
I have them on my FXDLS. I put them on my FXDB previous to this bike. I didn't notice a difference going from Standard to Further Fwd Mids, but boy I'll tell you going BACK to standard mids....NO THANK YOU.

I've been thinking about doing these controls on my '17 FXDB. When I got the bike new, I converted to forwards because the standard mids were just too hard on my hip. But after a few thousand miles in the saddle and converting to BMC wall seat I find that the forwards are too forward even though I'm 6'. I swapped pegs to Primo BMX style from DK and it's helped but this winter I am going to swap in the "Reduced Reach" forwards and ride it for a season to see how it goes. Depending on the results I may be doing further forward mids next year.
I couldn't find Further Forward mids from HD in black, but I did find that V-Twin Manufacturing makes them for about 250 bucks. Good luck and please post pics if you do the swap!

Going to inspect this option. I will absolutely post my before and after, hopefully it can help folks out there with this same conundrum. It's just too bad that it's such a permanent swap. Meaning, it's no small chore to switch back to the forwards if for some reason it doesn't work out. But, f it, I wanna ride comfortably and its worth the risk

Going to go and find a chrome set and just have them powdercoated. Either from Harley or VTwin actually has chrome ones in stock.
I'll post pictures and whatnot as I go!

I just was informed by VTwin Manufacturing that these black further forwards are backordered, probably not going to see them available until August. And I'm not waiting til then to get them haha
