I'm running forwards with mids. I rarely use the mids- on a cold morning on the highway is a good opportunity. Around town, I'm more comfy with the forwards.

I have done this before. I have my mid-mount pegs after having forwards installed on my bike when new. I have put them on thinking the same thing, but I never used them & they were just in the way so I took them off & just use the forwards.

Blue Angel,
Thanks muchly for the pics. That looks great. Your pegs look small, almost like shift pegs.
Do you ever bang your ankle at a stop?
Do you ever ride in town with the pegs down?
This will be mostly for long highway days, but my main concern is the midmount pegs interfering at a stop, or backing up while on the bike. Since there were no comments about that I am going to assume it is a non-issue.

I did it on my Fat Bob and am very happy I did. I love the forwards and would feel too bunched up with having to use mids or floorboards all the time, but it's comfortable to have options on a longer ride.

I did this on my Wide Glide. Nice to have somewhere else to put your feet...I have the brackets I used for sale in the classifieds...

I've had forward controls with the stock mid pegs left in place since the bike came out of the packing box.

Works great..

However, if I had to do it all over again, I'd stay with the stock mids and add highway pegs.

That's exactly what I'm doing. Lucky I kept my mids. Just had joe the powder pro black'em out and will be switching back to mids with highway pegs this winter.
