Default Fat Bob ... Mid Controls?

A friend of mine said that he just read that the Fat Bob can be ordered with mid controls. Has anyone seen or heard anything about this? Thanks ...

The one that I saw today had mid controls.

(edit)
After sitting on it, I would definitely want the forward controls. I'm 5' 10" and did not like how close I felt like I was sitting to the pegs.

Looks like I will answer my own question. In an article at Motorcycle Daily linked below ...
http://www.motorcycledaily.com/25jul...boy_rocker.htm

... it states:

"The all-new 2008 Dyna FXDF Fat Bob represents a new custom look from Harley characterized by dual headlamps, wide tires mounted on 16-inch cast aluminum wheels, a unique 2-1-2 exhaust, flat drag bars and forward foot controls (as an option, the Fat Bob can be had with mid-mount foot controls)."

Now I'm interested ...

My dealer got their 1st Fat Bob in yesterday....

Mine won't be here until Sept 14th. I ordered it with Forward Controls. The one that came in yesterday has Mid Controls. I will be heading to the dealer this evening to see the bike. If its cool...GREAT. If its FUGLY.....Night Train.
