Default forward controls

Has anyone tried putting on forward controls instead of highway bars? They seem to cost about the same, I'm just worried that they will be to far forward. It says they move forward 3" and where I'm only 5' 11" that may be a stretch, on the other hand it would give the bike a more custom look providing i can reach the pegs..... Any feed back would be great

I installed johnskit foward controls and they work great...I'm only 5'9" and
its no problem for me to reach. I think its more comfortable riding then it was stock.
