I know this is an older post, but I just bought a 2012 wide glide and am looking to do the same. I just want pegs on the mid location for long trips. I was looking at the frame and it does have holes but they look like either metal or plastic caps filling the holes. Did your 2011 have these? How do you remove them? I want to find out for sure there is actual threads in the holes before I try popping those caps out to see if there are actual threads in there.
Congratulations on your new ride - great choice - I love mine!
I have a 2011 Wide Glide and I did exactly what you are looking to do. I have the original 2-1-2 Tommy Gun exhaust and I think the 2012 Wide Glides have the same. It looks like they use the same frame for Dyna's with mid controls and forward controls. What I did was simple. I found a pair of the mid-control mounts on ebay. Somebody converted from mid to forward controls and was selling the mid-control mounts. The mid-control mount is also the mid-peg mount. Off the top of my head, I don't remember which mid-control Dyna model they were off of, but they fit my Wide Glide perfectly. They bolted right up to my frame and cleared the exhaust. You don't need the mid-control aspect, just use the peg mount. I put Kuryakyn pegs all the way around, so just added the same pegs to these mounts. Thus I have forward pegs w/ forward controls, mid pegs to change leg & foot position occasionally and passenger pegs, all the same.
If the 2012 is the same the 2011, you don't need to spend money on exhaust changes. FYI - I'm a huge fan of 'be seen and be heard', so I put Rush slip-on mufflers to give me the be heard factor while keeping the configuration and looks of the 2-1-2 Tommy Gun exhaust. I love the way this exhaust looks. I don't know how to put a picture on this forum, but if I can figure out how, I'd be happy to get a picture to you of what I did and what mine looks like.
