My experience wasn't great with reduced reach forwards. on my 04 to made the pegs sit offset, so it never felt right. I got a set of Further Forward mids and it is so much better. A little bit more room with that better handling of mids.

Mids for me . Forwards gave me instant backache . However , I think the perfect position for me would be about 4 inches further forward and 2 inches lower than stock HD mids .

These look perfect. Are those the offset mounts? Says they're not compatible with an Iron 883, but appears to have the same male tab insert. 1 inch closer and a larger foot pad, I think, would be perfect. Thanks.

Great call on these - bought the same offset set and delivered yesterday. Installed on a 2014 Iron with no real issues. They're a little loose in the clevis, so added 1 washer and now all snug. Wow - what a world of difference they make. Super comfortable and perfect reach. Wish they were a bit more tacky, but overall - great recommendation and purchase. Thanks!
