Here in Sweden we can only get them with forwards so it was an easy choice

I am 6'3' 230 and have mid controls with highway pegs. I feel very comfortable with the mids, feel like I have a lot more control over the bike, the highway pegs are a nice change on longer rides!

ORIGINAL: 1 Bad Bob

i need to check into getting a seat that moves me back another inch, maybe two. how comfortable is that seat?

It's really quite comfortable. I wouldn't go x-country on it or anything, but for regional riding it feels just fine. I have heard some say that getting the gel version is the way to go.

Hi all,

New to the forum. Have a pewter Fat Bob with mid controls, and just ordered some highway pegs for longer trips. I'm 5'8 165lbs.

Hi, I am 183 cm and 110 kg.Have also wondering on something to rest the heels on,maybe Kury switchblades.
Forward controls,as Swede_1956 writes this is the only option here.

FWD for me at 6' and 240#. Don't get my Fat Bob for another 2 weeks, but when I do I'm gonna try the Kury Switchblades.
