www.Kuryakyn.com makes an adjustable mustache bar(p/n7548-$169.00)that mounts to your down tubes. Easy to install,easy to remove. It's not big and bulky.

I also have a bad knee.. right knee... I installed a lindby bar and whenever I feel the need to straighten my leg I just use the incorporated pegs, either to put my foot or to fully extend my leg and putting my leg on it
I'm 5'9, forward controls would just feel too awkward for me I guess

Kuryakyn is a damn fine product. Not taking away from Lindby which is a fine product as well.
