I'm vertically challenged at 5'5". Sat on a Sportster yesterday with mids. Even with my short legs I felt cramped. I had been reading how most prefer mids over FC, you tall people must have your knees up under your arm pits. I'll stick with my forwards for now.

not trying to poach, but if he doesn’t have the mids, I have some I just took off...of course give him an opportunity to respond, but if he doesn’t, let me know.

late to the party but my 12 1200c had mids installed when i got it but came with forward as well, i HATE having my knees above the tank so the forward controls went back on. i will say a rider gets better control in the canyons.

do you still have the mids? I am looking at adding mid pegs with my forward controls on my 48 for some more foot position options.
