Be careful with cruisers, I'm on my 2nd one. First was a 1997 Harley Sportster 883 that had the middle controls. Second is a 2006 Sportster 1200 with the forward controls.
I've found with the very foot forward position, while it feels comfortable at first, tends to shift all my weight onto my tailbone. I can't spend near as much time in the saddle on my 1200 as I did on the 883. And both of them had/have Harley Sundowner touring seats.
I'm looking for some mid controls and bars to get me a bit more upright.
Another thing to consider, while it's easy to put a windshield on a cruiser, you have to be very careful in choosing the windshield height, those tombstone style windshields are notorious for causing buffeting.
