Default Accutronix 6" Forward Control extensions w Mid Pegs???

Anybody try installing the accutronix 6" forward control extensions on a bike with mid controls? The website says it moves your stock forward controls ahead 6" but I have the stock mid pegs on my '12 iron. It looks like they would work with the mid pegs too, anybody tried it????

Are these made for sportsters? I'm not seeing it on the website.

They move the stock forward controls forward 6". I'm 6'2" tall and have mid controls on my bike now, I want to switch to forwards but the stock forwards I've tried on other bikes are not quite forward enough. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to buy regular forwards first, then add these extensions or just slap these on to my mid pegs.

Looks kind of goofy to me. They're almost to far forward. It'd be comfortable though I'm sure.

I did some more research and found that you do need forwards first (or at least the shift and brake levers), so my new forwards are in the mail. Guess I'll try them first before moving on to the extensions.
