Thanks for this, how tall are you and inseam? Considering further forward mids or forward controls as well. I used to have a 1200C and was fine with forwards, feel a little cramped on the iron with mids... I'm 5'11", 31"inseam.

 

Not sure if that was meant for me... but I'm 5'9" with 30" inseam.

 

Just a follow-up post for those who subscribed... I spoke with a HD service specialist whom I trust and isn't about trying to get my buy anything (oddly enough). And she's about my height, and weighs less, and said the reduced reach forwards will definitely provide a bit more stability with balance, and comfort.

If I learn more, I'll keep sharing.

 

I put these controls on my 2010 1200 L sportsters. The bike originally came with mid controls; the previous owner changed them out to forward controls. When i bought the bike, i had a hard time reaching the forwards even with a super reduced reach seat i put on the bike. I'm 5'2 with a 28 inch inseam. I put bought the modified kit because the previous owner didn't take the mid control parts back from the dealer and i didn't want to spend the extra money. The thing i didin't like about the modifed kit is that the brake pedal is too high for me. if it was laid back at a angle, maybe 2 inches, it would be more comfortable. It is painful in my shin. HOwever, because i don't have the tools to go back to the forward controls i have since gotten used to it. But if i had to do it again, I would have gone straignht to the mids.

 

I got these installed on my bike before I left The dealer the first day I picked up my bike. I'm 5'5 and have a 29" inseam. They are perfect and match my setup very well. I'm more comfortable on the bike and have since changed my handlebars and seat as well to perfect my "cockpit" :-) It's been 2 years and no issues thus far, very good build quality.

 

Can you use the reduced reach kit with Vance & Hines Short Shots installed on the bike ? I've got a 2006 Dyna Super Glide that I bought with forward controls on it. I'm 5'7" with a 29/30 inseam and it's just a little bit of a reach. I think the inch or so plus the reduced reach kit would be just right for me, just not sure if it's made for stock pipes only.

 

I just installed these on my '06 Dyna Super Glide, and they're perfect. Moved the controls and pegs up just enough to make it feel natural and not a stretch. Easy install other than the damn Torx bolts HD insists on using, make sure you have proper tools.
