its kind of a personal preference thing. You will get 20 responses all saying something different. I am 5' 9 1/2 inches tall 32 inseam. I use the mid controls with adjustable hwy pegs set the the farthest position back. You might do ok with reduced reach forward controls since that seems a cheaper option. Good luck with the new ride and welcome to the dyna life.

 

had an 06 FXDBI, about the same height as you are...comfort and having legs stretched out have great positive impact compared to mid-controls setup where it makes you prop up...

 

I'm 5'6 also. My suggestion is mids for control, then have a cheap (or expensive) set of hway pegs for comfort if you need it.

 

I'm 5'7" and my street bob had mids when I bought it. I wasn't comfortable with them and put on the reduced reach forwards. Love em.

 

I did the switch to mids on my 2010 wide glide and I love it

 

Are those joker pegs Moto? Where did u get the brake lever? Very nice.

 

Yes Joker pegs. the brake lever is stock I had it macheined to fit the Joker brake cover

 

I'm 6'1" and switched to mids a few months ago and couldn't be happier. Bought mine on ebay for $60 practically new take offs but I guess if your primary cover isn't set up for the shifter then it'll be considerably more expensive. Tough call I'd go test ride one of each before making the decision most dealers will be more than understanding of your situation.

 

i'm 5'7".when i bought my 06 lowrider it had foward controls,i had the dealer return the mids to it as part of the deal.kept the fowards as trading stock.way to far forward for my 29" inseam.your seat can also come into play,mine is really low and forward.

 

Nicely done, answered a question of mine!
