forwards so youll be more comfortable and there ride more until you can get the exhaust . I was soooo happy when i put the forwards on my bike , it made a huge difference.

Boy is this one easy! Call Zanotti's, get them both at the same time at a great price, to save on the shipping. See, it's more cost effective this way!

Then there's no question in my mind -- get the forwards. If you're not happy with the exhaust (I don't know what you're running now, nor what your preference in style, sound, etc is) drill the baffles or paint them or do whatever you need to do for the short term and get the forwards so you are comfortable riding the bike. Just my opinion.

I'm 6'2" and can't imagine riding very far with mids on a Sporty. I love my forwards (which aren't that far forward on a Sportster--you'll still have great control). I'd make that the #1 priority.

I did it, I got the forwards......I am running stock pipes right now, I guess I will just drill the baffles, its better then making exhaust nosies with my mouth when I am putting down the freeway....Thanks!

i am only 5"8 and went with exhaust first then after riding about 10000 mile the first year wished I would have gone with forwards. So ask yor self are you really going to ride your bike or just start it and listen to it roar
