Default Forward controls with mid-pegs?

I have noticed that there are quite a few people with mid-controls and hi-way pegs.
I have forward controls but I am wondering if anyone runs forward controls and kept the mid mount pegs also.
I think it would be nice to have another foot placement choice.
From what I can see I just need the brackets that bolt to the frame.

Yes you can\\; lots of folks add the mids for a different foot position.

I use the mid foot rest on the highway &amp\\; fold them away when I hit the exit ramp.

&nbsp\\;
The mid brackets are from an 07 Street Bob.

Exactly my thoughts I ride about 60 miles each way back and forth to work and it would be nice while blasting fast to have my feet there.

tattoo13, I had the same idea as you.&nbsp\\; I have a Fat Bob with factory forward controls and picked up some mid-mounts off an '07 Street Bob from eBay.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;I tried putting them on this weekend but low and behold, with a stock exhaust system on the Fat Bob, the mid-mounts hit the exhaust shield.&nbsp\\; If you look at the exhaust shield from a Fat Bob with factory mid-mounts, they have a depression in the heat shield to clear the bracket.&nbsp\\; I guess now, I'll either have to get a replacement shield from a mid-mount Fat Bob or put on an aftermarket exhaust.&nbsp\\; Considering I just put on some S.E. slipons, I think I'll just get the heat shield.

Tattoo - I bought my Fat bob with forwards, and love em, but I had the same idea.&nbsp\\; I bought the mid mount hardware from HD (everything except control hardware), and it bolted right on.&nbsp\\; So far I'm not real comfortable with the mid position.&nbsp\\; I'm 6', 240lb, and the pegs feel a little too high, and I just feel more stable with my feet on the forwards.&nbsp\\; I'll wait till I take a long ride before I decide if I want to keep them.
&nbsp\\;
Lurch - the stock mid mount HW mounted over the exhaust shield without a problem.
