I went from forwards to mids/highway pegs on my DX and haven't looked back. In terms of functionality, that's where it's at.

i love having the forwards on mine. i have an 09 and couldnt imagine having mids. granted, i also ride a chopper and like that stretched out feeling but i realize its not for everyone. if that is also how you like to ride, then its worth the investment to be comfortable and have peace of mind.

The D comes stock with highway pegs and the mids. I like getting nasty in the twisties. Now that I have the Arnott's with the the thumb buttons, I can really let the D strut solo or with my wife on the back.
I also crank the thumb wheel down on the Interstate, throw my feet over the pegs. kick back and let the Night Rod eat miles. If I get uncomfortable, I change position. It's not unusual for my wife to have a foot on the mids if I'm on the pegs.
But, if anyone wants to mess up a perfectly fine bike, it's theirs, go for it. I just can't understand people buying a D or R when they want a DX or an AW, then whine about the cost to modify a bike.

How about going the other way? My Dad has a 2007 Niterod special, He is about 5'7" and would like his controls moved "backwards" to mid control. How is the best way to do this? He likes the riding position of his 92 Heritage.

Isn't it all about the mounting, and not just the controls? My Dad has friends that have modified their controls to move them backwards to most, (rearward), that really like them but I would like to learn more about how to do it! thanks
