Help w forward controls.
After reviewing my exhaust which is a Vance & Hince 2 into 1 competition series from the Iron I just purchased, I'm kinda sad that I can't put forward controls on her. The mid controls are ok but I'm not totally comfortable, their not totally bad but I like to stretch my legs a bit. Anyway that I could get around the bent exhaust header seen on the pic attached? I sure hope so 
Don't want to replace the exhaust and spent more more on buying a new one...

well the way the front pipe runs down the tube and the other pipe swerves back towards the other pipe it doesn't leave much room for them, NOTE: it is not like the photo Mr Bungle posted. If you were able to manage to install them I think you would find your ankle getting awfully hot.
I think in your case (setup) you either get use to where they are or replace the exhaust system

YAY! I'm finally happy~ According to J&P tech support, forward controls do fit and it shouldn't be an issue. So now I'm happy! Was sweating a lil bit...

Be aware that your right leg will probably spend time up against that rear pipe where it bends. Without heat shields it may be pretty uncomfortable. I'd say hang on to your mids until you give the forwards some seat time.
My pipe sits like that and I ran forwards for a bit but had to use the heat shields. With mids my legs don't seem to hug the bike frame as much. I'm 5'6" also.
