Forward Controls Question
I never had forward controls but it seems alot of you like them better than the mid controls. 2 questions. Can you still have an engine guard with them and if I didn't like them can I go back to the mids?

Do you have highway pegs? If not, you may try those to see if you like riding in that position first. If you got big feet like me, you can even operate the mids while your feet are on the hwy pegs. So no need to switch controls.

In my totally un-professional opinion...
Just put "highway pegs" on and "heel shift" ...
Hell of a lot cheaper and you don't have to worry about "going back" it's a fairly intensive process otherwise because you have to get rid of everything coming out of your primary and go out the top...
If you have a bike with a bunch of Kuryakyn parts and shiny crap all over it , you may want the forward controls .(I'm not saying that's bad...before anyone gets offended. It's just not my thing.)
If your bike looks like it's 30 years old (like mine) you can cheap out with the pegs only, heel shift and call it a day...your choice.

Absolutely, and the shift and brake levers (that you get with forward controls) don't get in your way. leaving foot placement options pretty much limitless...
I left my mid mounts on and just fold 'em up ...never use them because I'm 6'3"

I put 2 1/4" peg extenders with heelrest pegs upside down on my highway pegs. Gets your feet a little higher and knee away from the air cleaner. Guess you could call em toe rest pegs now but its way comfortable, plus you can move your feet around on the peg more not stuck in one spot.
