Further forward mid control kit
Has anyone tried these out? Keeps the mids, gives you a little more comfort and no dealing with the primary and shift rod move.

Price is high for what you get in my opinion. Maybe there is an aftermarket option.

I got a set of modified mid controls of a 2014 low rider; they call them modified mids because they are 2-inches forward of the standard mids that come on most dynas. Picked them up on ebay for $80 and it was well worth it. You still have your feet under you but more relaxed position.
Sorry, I should have read the entire post. The further forwards mids you listed are what I currently have and they are stock on the FXDL. I am tall but came from a sport bike background and wanted my feet under me but the stock mids were a little cramped for long rides. I went to forwards for a few years which I absolutely hated; great for the interstate but not in the curves which is where we do most of our riding. I switched to these as soon as I could find a pair. The forwards are great for the interstate but they give you no leverage with your feet. The FFM's are fantastic for all conditions.

Just bought a used set off of ebay as well from a 2014 low rider. $80 from above post is a great price, but anything less than the $300 from the dealership will do you well.
I have the 2-1 bassanis and it fits with them. Helps to take the pipes off. Lot more comfort and no more melting my boot on the heat shield.

I noticed in the 2 reviews on HD's site that people complained about the brake lever being to far down. is that just them not knowing how to adjust it or does this kit use all the length the brake rod has?
