This setup uses a combination of mids and highway pegs. ⁴⁾
It allows both stretched cruising and on-the-pegs control when appropriate for either.

My inseam is about 30 inches and I've always preferred my feet forward when riding.
But, I really don't like having forward controls because it eliminates the better control available from mids.
Most highway bars are mounted high up away from the controls.
Instead, I've developed my own way of placing my highway pegs (which are mounted on the front engine mounts)..
This way I can still shift and brake without putting my feet back on the mids.

I use the back of my boot to shift, both up and down.
Either by slightly lifting my leg for upshifts or by slightly rotating my ankle for down shifts.
And I slightly rotate my right ankle to apply about 50% rear braking when necessary (using mostly front braking anyway).

The pics below show boot positioning in order to shift with the heel.
The shifter just fits snugly in the Achilles and I can shift both up and down at will.

On the brake side, I can rotate my ankle enough to apply about 50% braking in most cases.
I'll move back to the mid-peg when I need to apply enough pressure for full stop braking.
