I heartily recommend stirrups (heel rests) for forwards ... takes some of the fatigue factor, if it's even the slightest stretch. Another recommendation, from a bunch of guys who've started doing it recently, is to retain your mid pegs so you'll have somewhere to rest your feet if you feel like moving them around. Good luck, sounds like the consensus is to go for it!

6'6", 36" inseam, forwards, they feel like mids must feel to normal people! I also have forward control highway pegs, and mid pegs. Tons of options.

I think you'll love the Fwd's but like others have said....take one for a test ride. 32" inseam hear and mids cramped my style.

Being another little guy at 6'3" and 280 I really like my forwards on the WG. One of the many reasons I fell for the WG's.

Ok, I have taken your advice and went back to the dealer for a test ride. They had a used streetbob with forwards and it actually felt good. The only thing was I felt like I was having to search for the shifter(like it was in towards the motor to far) but I am sure I will get used to it. Got off the bike and went to the parts counter and purchased the forward kit. Called Kuryakyn and ordered the anti-rattle clip and the chrome cover as some of you suggested and will be installing them this weekend. Can't wait!! Thanks for all the responses. This forum is awesome.

5'8" with 30" inseam and forwards feel perfect.
