Those look sweet!!! So next questions, how do you like them and do you miss the floorboards? And most importantly, the reason I want to switch, are they going do drag the road on severe tight high speed turns?

I changed to the forward controls because I an 6'2" and I felt cramped with the floorboards. I have never dragged them and I ride the canyons 80% of the time, I have dragged the extended saddlebags and the short Santee side exhaust I have but never the controls. The only disadvantage I can see is that at freeway speeds I sometimes find myself fighting the wind to keep a good foot position.
