Floorboards VS. Foward Controls
I don't know about alot of you, but I always find myself riding with my heels resting on the floorboards. It just seems like an uncomfortable position for me to be flat footed on the floorboards. This is the main reason why I'm considering going with fowards controls. Can anyone give any input on how they like them? Which ones you went with and why? Maybe a price and link?

What I did was put on highway pegs with the Kury rotating (360 degree type)right angle mounting and mounted them very low on the engine guard. That way I rest my heels on the floorboard and my foot(about midway)on the peg. Kind of like having the footpegs with a stirrup that supports your heel. With this setup you don't eliminate the option of having the floorboard to move your feet around on. I agree with you, I don't like riding with my feet flat on the floorboards but I do like having the option of moving my feet to the floorboard for a change of position. With pegs only you're locked into your legs and feet being in one position only.

You know: different strokes. But I have a 28" inseam and my highway pegs look and feel great. I got rid of a foward control bike and for short trips it was ok. but after a couple of hours riding I like to be able to shift my feet and legs around. Pluss the floorboards are very comfortable for me . I wouldn't go with foward controls if they were free.

Back reat and Highway pegs. I find myself putting my heels over the forward edge of the floorboards and my feet rest on the pegs.. If I just use the pegs I find myself "pressing" my feet after a while. Heel in-between floorboard and peg seems to work well for me......When I get comphy it's like riding a couch. Forward controls after you shirt they are worthless in my opinion. I always put feet back on floorboards if in traffic or stop and go.
