I don't see how your height has anything to do with whether or not you would like forward controls. It's the length of your inseam that is in question. I'm 5-10, but I have short legs with a 29" inseam. I love my forward controls.

Best thing to do is try them yourself. I love'em...couldn't ride without them. Seriously, I could not ride without them.
(I'm a lower left leg amputee and my fake ankle doesn't bend back enough with mids to shift. the forwards are no trouble at all. I like the comfort factor too)

Don't know, you may already have them, but you will really like the mini floor boards. They are not much $$$ and install in about 5 minutes. I love mine and you may find it gives you more room to adjust and move that leg a bit.

I have forwards on my bike and I'm 5'8". I can put my feet up over the pegs or when I have my feet on the pegs then my knees are bent. I think you would be just fine. Also think about getting the HD solo reach seat-it looks great and brings you down and forward a bit. I have one and love it! it's only like $150 form a dealer.
