Default forward mid controls

Has anyone tried these on their Dyna? Short woman, doesn't care for the mid controls, not sure if the reduced reach fwd. controls would work?
thanks

Which controls are you asking about?

The "Further Forward Mid Controls?"

Or the "Reduced Reach Forward Controls?"

The aforementioned controls move the stock foot position 2" forward. Ive got them in my garage. Have to test fit them with my particular exhaust.

The latter set works great for a friend of mine. She's SHORT.

What bike do you have? Exhaust?

The lowrider comes with further forward mids. Just saying if ya go to a dealership, have her sit on one to see if she likes it. One advantage I've found with them is on long straight hauls you can drape your feet over the pegs to rest.

I have the further forward mids on my SB and like them. Here are some pics of them that might be helpful. I had mine powdered.

2011 FXDB,

Can you post a couple different pics of your controls on the right (brake) side?

Straight on, from the right, and straight down.

Thanks

Man, the pollen dust is nasty this week, especially when I zoom in.

I'm 5'7" with a 28" inseam.
I put Kuryakyn 9063 forwards on my 09-FXD and can reach them easily with the stock seat. These forwards are drop in,, meaning there's no case dismantling, everything just bolts on with everything you need in the kit.

Love my forward mid controls. . Great if you are short, but long enough so not to cramp you up.

I also have the forward mids and like them very much. Every now and again I catch myself eyeing reduced reach forwards and then remember adjustable highway pegs. I feel more in control with the mids but like the stretching of the forwards.
