9" taller, with a 36" inseam. Forwards are much better for me than the mids were. At 5'6" I'd think mids would be fine for you.

I'm 6'1", and the forwards are very comfortable. At your height, I also think mids would be just fine for you. But the only way to know for sure is to try it - maybe stop by your local dealer and try out some bikes for fit.

What is available for this model and what do you recommend.

The stealer stated they have black forward controls for a dyna 06-up in stock but I haven't got to look at them yet.

Any pics or links is appreciated..

HD Black looks best, IMO.

I sat on a fat bob and a wide glide, (they didnt have any bobs with forwards)my feet actually reached and I got to even rest my heal on it. Still not sure. Guess I just wanted to see if anybody out there my height had em and was happy with them. I love forward controls. I'll buy em try em on. Then if I'm not happy I'll just sell em on eBay. Thanks guys ride safe!

Dude, 95% of guys like forwards, so I think you are safe if you like the feel on other Dynas

I completely love my forwards and I wouldn't change back. I'm sure you'll think the same once you have them installed.
