I just purchased another springer (2001 FXSTSI).. I've had several springers, but always as a 2nd bike and had a touring bike for long hauls. Well, I just had a 1000 mile 3 day trip on the Springer and though I'm not too tall (5'11") found my legs cramping at times. I don't think I'm tall enough for forwards (32" inseam) and not a fan of highway bars on Springers.. any thoughts? Maybe I don't have too many other options..

I've got a 32" inseam and love forwards... or floorboards. Actually, I love floorboards more.
Back when I ran my FXR, the biggest improvement I made to my own riding comfort was forward controls.

I fear that forwards are more than the seat.. mind sharing approx how much forward controls set you back?

But, I really, really didn't care for the mid controls and was happy to drop the coin at the time.

Floor board extensions(moves boards out 3/4") This is one of my first mods on my Softails and FL's. It does not sound like much, but keeps leg off A/C and more airflow and comfort. About 50 bucks and 1 hr to put them on yourself. See them @ vtwin goodies.
