Low Rider lean angle with forwards

Can anyone comment if putting forward controls on an FXDL improves the lean angle?&nbsp\\; I am considering one, but the 28 degree lean angle has me a bit concerned&nbsp\\; Thanks.

Just put them on if you want. There's time for worrying later.

You will scrape forwards before mids.

You'll drag your heel when start leaning waaaaaaay over. The mid controls will give you more clearance. Go with your heart.
