I would think all 04+ are interchangable, there hasnt been any frame changes since the rubbermounts started.

sorry sorry sorry, it was highway pegs i bought and not forward controls. Either way the harley product will be easier to assemble and better finish. I kept my mids as road conditions in my area can be rough so with the sportster having very little suspension travel keeping the mids allows me to stand on pegs even momentarily when i am going over some rough areas, cant be done with forwards so the highway pegs gave me the stretch option if i felt like it. I am 6'2" with 32inseam and so far i have used the high way pegs very seldom.
