Forwards or mids?

[Hitcher]

I know a bloke who made a set of frowrds for his 1200 Bandit.

That I'd like to see! Must have required the construction of some interesting linkages for shifter and brakes.

I have not tried forward controls. Just have the stock pegs on the meanie and they see ok. Would like to try forwards just to see if they are more comfy on long rides.

took a couple of rides to get used to forwards (kept trying to put foot down onto road when taking off from lights), but no lookin' back now. Love 'em.

I have found its pretty much impossible to use body positioning to ride aggressively when on a bike with forward controls.

Which won't bother you if you like to ride like a robot, Or prefer to be left behind when the road starts to curve.

I don't find them comfortable either, especially after 2 or 3 hours in the saddle, Can become a chore to hold your leg out that distance (I'm 6 foot) and I need to be able to take some weight off my back as I ride, can't do it with the foot pegs up by the front wheel.

My preference, Mid-mounted controls, and a set of pegs up front for a bit of a stretch.
