Shift forward? I don't understand what you mean?
I'm 5'9" and use mid controls, I find that I lean slightly forward into the wind which is just what I was after. Using the FB risers, you can reverse them which will push the bars 1-2" further forward, but so far I've been happy with where they are.

I have forward controls and would be using the stock risers. I think my riding position will be a little more upright than it was with the stock drag bars.
Your bike looks good. Thanks.

I'd say they would raise your arms up a little but I don't think it will put your upper body any more or less upright - you'd have to compare the pullback figures in the P&A book. If its more upright you want, some curved pullback risers are probably a better option and a lot less work to install since you won't have to pull the internal wires or anything else for that matter.

if your using the stock risers then the bars will be higher. It will be like sitting on a wideglide basically.
