Luck, I love my forward mids on my 2013 Bob. Had forwards and being short was to forward to ride comfortably. Then sat on a new Low Rider and that convinced me. It was a pain to convert, but worth it. I wish I had ordered the bike with mids . Would have been a snap to change to forward mids.
Enjoy,

Make sure they are from a 2014-15 or they will be the same as the other mid mounts.

If I were going to trade some one for their stock '14 low rider peg mounts, what all would I and they need to take off? Just the peg mounts? Shift Linkage? I'd be swapping the stock mids off my '15 Street Bob for the stock Low Rider mounts.

Thanks!

If anyone with a 14 or newer low rider wants to trade their "further forward mid controls" for my '15 street bob stock mid controls please PM me. Thanks! EDIT: No longer looking for these parts.

Before buying my Street Bob, I test rode a 2014 Low Rider. The rider triangle was amazing for me. I'm 5'8" 1/2 and have a 29" inseam. I may well add a further forward kit to mine as well.

Later!

May be topic is dead already, but tell me please where did you get lower pegs? I think lower pegs coud be best solution
