Just to add---
At first I left the mid shaft in and bolted in place with the provided bracket. Also left the trans shifter arm in place-finding neutral was damn near impossible with my foot so I'd reach down and find neutral with my hand. After a couple months of that I researched this board and found some write ups like the one above.
I went from underneath with a hacksaw blade and was able to cut through the mid shifter in about 10 min. by hand. I was able to access the transmission arm set screw with a regular screwdriver from above-turning about a 1/4 turn at a time. I don't own a 90* screwdriver-so its possible with a regular one. After I got the set screw out I pried open the splines with the screwdriver and was able to wiggle the thing off. Carefully slid the longer one in place and tightened down the set screw 1/4 turn at a time. The shifter arm job took 15-20 minutes. So the whole job is doable without any specialty tools with a little patience. If you have a 90* screwdriver I'm sure it goes quicker.

Dyna rider footboard kit #50500247. To be honest I don't remeber if the bracket to lock down the original shift shaft lever came with my kit or I had it laying around. The kit came with a chrome cap and a black cap for the tunnel going through the primary though-that I do remember. I still have the black one in my misc. parts pile. You guys where probably talking about forward controls-I was talking about the footboard kit. The hacksaw job and removal of the short tranny shifter lever would still apply. You can see the boards on my sig pic-also you may notice half moon boards instead of "D" shaped boards. The softail half moons bolted right up to the dyna brackets. Sorry if there was any confusion.
