Default Switched to mids.

Switched back from the reduced reach forwards to mids. It's the best thing I've done to the bike. I wish I would've done it a long time ago. Here's some pics from over the weekend.

I did the same thing with my bob. At 5'7", mids are more comfortable, and I feel more in control when I ride aggressively.

Love that black cherry color by the way.

Have to say I like the mids on my FXDC better than forwards also. Still want to put some hiway pegs on her for longer hauls.

I can't find mids for sale anywhere. Not Complete anyways. Really want black ones too. Anyone know where to look?

I didn't have the brake side from years back when I went to forwards, but I found it on eBay. It will be an extreme slim chance if you finding ones that are already coated black....joe powder pro did mine.

Hey thanks for that. I was half tempted to paint it but I might keep it that color for a while. And couldn't agree more. The bike feels much more aggressive. If anybody needs some forward controls I've got a set for sale. Don't plan on switching back.
