When I purchased my lowrider back in 2007 I had full intentions of putting forward controls on it but I had other assessories that I needed before that. After riding it for one year with mid controls and highway pegs I began to like it that way. If you do any touring with that bike you will appreciate having mid controls and highway pegs, let's not forget to mention the twisties of the Dragon... Taking those Corners is a lot of fun with mid controls underneath you...

 

I guess depending on how big your foot is, that makes it easier or harder. When I had my sporty if the front of my shoe or boot was on the peg my heel could either rest on the brake or shifter. By using your heel braking you have to get used to the pressure applied as you can lock up your rear wheel easy. And you have to play around with your shifter heel for the right angle to shift up, down shifting is easy.
But it's just a small slide back to use your controls then forward . Your foot should never leave the peg.

 

I just took off my forwards today. I will sell everything or trade you because i want to go mid!

 

G'day All, does anybody have or know off a set of mid mount controls to suit a 2001 FXDL, I am wanting to get rid of my forward controls and refit the mid mount controls
?
cheers Dutchy

 

Damn... Revival on the old....
Evilbay should have what you need Dutchy... Hopefully you'll find it

 

Cheers REW13, was hoping to avoid evil bay but that’s where I may have to go.

 

Aw, you're really an Aussie? I will have a set soonish, but shipping is probably a nightmare. Sorry, I should have picked up on your accent, it would be cheaper to find what you need on that side of the world...

 

All good cobber, I've updated my location details.

cheers
