Lots to consider. Thanks so mush for the input everyone.

 

Shorter pegs. Anti-pants-leg snag. These guys do great work. There's also a set-screw design. A diamond plate version is due out in a few days or so:

I don't suppose the OP found a mid control slightly forward did they? Bummer, I was looking last year for one as well. I may order the reduced reach controls to see how they feel compared to just my forwards. Like the pegs from the post above.

 

Nope. Still looking.

 

Bummer, go figure.

 

Harley now makes a reduced reach kit for forward controls....first you have to put on forwards then the reduced reach kit so it is pricey. Brings the forwards rearward a little more than 2 inches which positions it a few inches forward of the stock mids, if that makes sense. I wound up sticking with mids, changing to mini floorboards, a longer shift peg, larger brake pad and the adjustable highway peg kit and pegs.

 

oh, ok will check that out, thanks for the tip!!

 

Couple of choices - HD offers a "Reduced reach" forward control set- # 50700010
Chainsickle mid-forwards - #4-020
Semi Forward Foot Controls for Sportsters '86 and '03
Standard shift pattern. These controls place your feet in between the stock mid position and forward controls.

 

I ordered the reduced reach forwards from my local dealer. Should be in on Wednesday he said. If I don't like it, it will be up for sale soon for anyone interested.

 

Mine are up for sale in the Sportster section. I might fiddle with them more this weekend, and see if I can get use to them a bit more.
