Just bought my little brother his first bike a 97 Sportster that has forward controls he is having a little problem he is 5'6 and would like to go back to the standard controls...My question does anyone have there old setup that theywould like to sell....Thanks

 

If you cant find the controls, a cheaper option could be a seat, that moves him an inch or 2 forward? or you could send the original seat to mean city cycles or something I cant remeber the exact name, they're a sponsor on this forum and they have their own section on the main page. Ive heard good things about them. If its not a reach/size issue and hes new to riding and just dosent like the forwards I think he should keep using them, theyre loads more comfortable than mids are, (at least for me) once he gets used to them

 

I'm 5'7" and could never go back to mids... I just tossed my mids out as well or else i'd have given em to ya for the cost of shipping.
Personally I think he'd get used to the forwards with time. I can imagine the top heavy nature of the sporty could make you feel like the foot controls are too far forward since this is a more laid back position. I felt the same way when I first installed my forwards but my knees were thankful anyhow.
