Hi all,

First of all, greetings from out here in Dubai! Wanted to say hello as this is my first posting but I have been reading this forum for well over an year. It's an awesome great place for advice and topics to read!!

To introduce myself, I've got a '10 Super Glide Custom which is awesome and my first Harley and have been loving it. Have been working on it slowly (small jobs) to learn and understand it as I plan on keeping her for a long time.

As to my question, I've been thinking about forward controls for a while but am not too sure. The bike has got mid controls on now since most bikes I rode earlier had them. Wanted to try the forward to see if I am comfortable with it, else switch back to the mids, hence I do not want to remove or cut the mid shifter rod until I am sure.

Has anyone done this before? Is there anyway I can secure the mid shifter rod links so that they dont clang around while riding? Looking for advice!

Thanks!

 

Welcome to the forum from the Netherlands, captainslow!

Similar question has been asked over here: Securing mid gearshift lever when moving to forwards. Check out this thread and you'll find some solutions.

You'll find a link for the Instruction sheet on 49080-06A ...dyna fwd control kit chrome '06-later models in my database (see link in my signature)

 

That's funny I'd like to add mid controls on mine and keep the front pegs when cruising on the highway but have no ideas of what parts to order for my fatbob...

 

Thanks FXD2003Rider! That thread has exactly what I was looking for! Looks like my searching skills still need some development...

I'll contact a local shop to try and get that part fabricated for me!

 

My pleasure...

does harley sell mid controls for the dynas that come with forwards only?

 

Never seen these parts in a kit like fwd ctrls do...

If you want to convert, you'll have to find out what parts you need and buy them at a dealer or search ebay for take off parts.

 

I added forward controls and haven't gotten around to taking the shifter shaft off for the mids yet. Just haven't felt like taking everything apart. I actually screwed the stock shifter onto the inside of the lever and it stays out of the way.

 

If you're looking to just feel what forwards would be, another alternative would be to put foot pegs there. This would give you the feel of forwards. Just a thought.
