You mean highway bars or these kind of highway pegs?

Forwards for me. 5' 10" 31 inseam. No mid dummy pegs wanted for safety reasons. However, my right calf bone will be jammed on the Heavy Breather if I wanted to stretch out by resting my heel on the peg. Check your leg positioning first before changing to a HB air cleaner for forwards.

I was fine with mids until I sat down and thought about it. I'm going to jump to forwards when I get back

5'10" Mids with engine guard and highway pegs. Mids is a necessity for somewhat aggressive canyon riding and standing on dirt or gravel bumpy roads, both of which I do often.

Can someone post a pic of their mid controls. I have forward and i am having HORRIBLE back pain? it seems mid pegs at least would help. I just got back from the dealership and they told me there are no MID peg options for the Fat Bob? thanks

Forward controls,as Swede_1956 writes this is the only option here.

I should try the mini floorboards from 2orangeharleys when they arrive to my door.
