You'll definitely like them! I feel much more in control of my bike with mid controls.

I wuz old school, forwards all the way. Finally switched to mids to relieve lower back soreness. They do provide the needed relief.
Side benefit, maybe a little better handling.

Like my mids, but the highway pegs really help on long rides. Nice to change positions.

This!!! I've had mids only, fwd's only, and mids w/pegs. IMO, mids w/pegs is hands down the best. You can stretch out and heel shift/brake, or use the mids. If I could only have one set-up, though, it'd mids all the way.
