Default Forward controls - Adjustable / Variable ?
Are there any forward controls available that are either adjustable or not so far forward as the ones out there I'm seeing on Sportsters ?

I find i love the position of the floorboards on the softails, but the optional forward controls on the Nighters and Irons etc. just seem too far forward... any help appreciated...

I wish there was but I don't think there is. This is why I traded out my forwards for mids and will eventually get adjustable highway pegs. J&P Cycles sells a set for a good price.

I've seen 2" and 3" forwards. You gotta look around and read the descriptions.

Check out the Reduced Reach Forward Control Conversion Kit - SportsterŽ. Moves them back 2". I've been thinking about getting them.
