I have heard of some people doing that but I do not. Doesn't seem comfortable to me in the least, especially not compared to when I'm stretched out on the forwards.

Yes. I routinely hook my boot heels on the passenger pegs and straighten up and lean forward a bit on long trips. The forward controls on my wide glide put a lot of pressure on my lower back. I have all sorts of troubles with my back and shoulders, and have difficulty getting comfortable, so changing position regularly helps me out quite a bit.

No, I usually throw my heals out onto my forward controls to stretch out and lean back, but I need a new seat! Looking into the tallboy seat for more room.(5'7" but got long legs!) I took my passenger pegs off.

Do it all the time. Extended forward controls on my wideglide. Like the other wideglide rider said. It takes the pressure off the back for a little while.
