Default RE: back to midcontrols

First - let me apologize to txtec, I did not mean to hijack your thread.
I was just looking for txtec's insight since he has made a switch and now is switching back.

With the kit sitting in my garage and the pain of installation on the 06 and ups switching back seems to be a bigger dal now then in the past.
I have ridden for years with mids and always thought I would prefer forwards... just a little put off by the complexity of the new kit as a way to try them.

Again sorry txtec - the derailing of your "anyone have question" was not my intention.

Mids came off the bike before it left the dealer, I always found forward controls to be more confortable.
