Have you considered 2012 Switch Back floor boards? I installed them on my 08 FXDF and am very happy with them.
HD has them as a kit in their accessory catalog.
Yes I have the mid controls. Do you have to just pull the primary cover or the inner primary cover also and why?

The install is almost identical to doing forwards except you have foot boards to bolt up as well. The mids go through your primary.

It would be nice to install without removing the covers. Is that possible?

Call me a cheap ***, but when I went to forwards I simply used a ziptie and let the linkage hang from the new shift rod loosely to avoid binding, the rod could move freely when shifting and the stock linkage didn't move. after about 6 months I had the cash to get the linkage removed and the holes plugged.

I would say its because you don't know how to read, but you were able to get to this thread, so maybe it's just dumb luck.
