Mid Controls with Forward Pegs
Has anyone kept their mid controls and added just the forward pegs (not the full-on forward controls)? I am starting to get hip cramps on longer rides and it would be nice to strecth the legs out on longer rides. Harley has some nice adjustable forward peg bars for $100 (minus the foot peg). Should I not waste my money and just do the $600 add on(includes labor) or keep both of them? What are some of your thoughts out there good or bad?
I am 5'11" with an inseam of 30" and the bike is an 08 SB for reference.

Yes, I've never had forwards and don't want them. \\; That's how I always set up my bike.

When its cold I never ride on the forward pegs. The air goes right up the pant legs. I have 32" inseam. The pegs are a nice option. Best of both. Usually get through the gears before I move the feet up.

RE: Mid Controls with Forward Pegs
I finally found a disadvantage to mid controls and forward pegs.
I rode over a stream crossing at slow speed with my feet on the mids.
I got wet feet. If I had forwards or had the tootsies up on the pegs, I would have been sitting pretty, and my gf would have got drenched.

Mid controls with Highway pegs here. \\;
Works perfectly for me.
 \\;
I have always used mid controls and prefer them. \\; When I need to stretch out, I just nail the highway pegs. \\;
