when I bought my Dyna SE it had the forwards on it already. Well I didn't know how I was going to like them because my legs are a little short but after 75 miles I have started to like them and more then likely will never go back to Mids unless I have too.

You got taken for a ride! You could have done it yourself in 30 minutes.

Yeah that type of thinking is nonsense. It is a balance or trade-off with these things. I looked cooler with apes and forwards and was plenty comfortable, never cleaned my bike, and don't own a trailor! But for the type of riding I want to do as a 26 year old male, I sacraficed some things for others. Hell, I almost traded in for a ducati monster, but decided to make the dyna sportier instead. Mids and drags! Does that make me a drag queen?

If you are comfortable with your mids and like the way the bike handles then stay with them. Who cares about other people's opinions, you're the one paying the bill.
