I have forward controls on my 1200C Sportster and love them. I'm 5'11" with a 31" inseam and the forward controls feel just right. [sm=smiley20.gif]

I love the forward controls, when i'm just cruising i'll streach out and put my heals on the outer edges of the pegs it's just like having seperate HW pegs.

I'll let you know how they work out for me. Ordered from Jireh and should be here soon. Forward controls are comfortable but the stirrups look like they would provide a little more comfort on longer rides when the wind is trying to blow your feet off the pegs.

I installed Kuryaken stirrups on my forward controls a couple of months ago, and LOVE 'EM! What a difference! I hadn't realized it, but I was using my leg muscles quite a bit pressing down onto the pegs previously; now, my legs are much more relaxed. When you install them, play around with the positioning to find what feels natural to you, and allows you to shift and brake efficiently.

This is my third H-D, and all three have had foreward controls and KA stirrups. Extremly comfortable, wouldn't want to ride without them. I bought a new set when I ordered this new bike, and had them installed before I picked up the bike.
