I Love my Fatbob! (mid-controls vs. forwards)
#21
I'm exactly 5'10 too.Either you sit really far back and have longer arms or you legs ar shorter than mine cause the forwards are just perfect forme. Only at excessively high speeds do I ever feel like my feet slip back, I mean 85+ mph. You may consider heel rests or floor boards of some type.

I have a Fatbob that came stock with forwards, and added mid pegs without problems. I didn't have any clearance issues with stock headers and Rush slip-offs. I'm 6' 250 and have never felt comfortable using the mid pegs (I'd be glad to sell them if anyone's interested). I just feel all cramped up when I move my feet back. What really made a difference for me was the stirrups. They give lot's more support and let you move your foot position around quite a bit.
Hope you find a setup that works for you.

If u are use to forwards mids seem cramped for a couple miles , but I would never put forwards on the Fxr , it's just like when I ride the Fxr for long period's and jump back on the wide glide it takes a stronger arm to maneuver for a couple miles then it's like butter throw it around like a rag doll. Funny when some guys test ride a different model and it sucks no good but when they buy a different model it's the greatest thing on the road !! Just have to get used to it, like an old boot!
