Forwards to Mids?
When I bought my 04 FXD it had forward controls on it already. I'm looking to convert it back to mid controls. I'm just curious what the steps for this are and has anyone gone through this already. I saw some stuff online that said something about changing the primary and I'm definitely not trying to do that. There's mid control set ups on Ebay but not sure if I'll need anything else. Any input would be great and much appreciated. Thanks!

The primary window plate is not one solid piece there is a sort of ****/ cap where the shifter and peg would be. Not sure about the rest though.

It sounds like you have the mid delete kit that came with the forward controls, that is a good thing, with the stock parts you should be able to go back to mid's easily, I went to FWD's did not like it and switched back, if you watch eBay and Wait you can find all the parts you need. most everyone goes to FWD controls so the parts are all over and usually pretty cheap, or order the parts from HD at a huge expense, Bike Junk ward is another option?

I probably won't be doing this for another 2 months or so. Also I'm going to attempt to see if i could leave the forward pegs on as highway pegs and just taking off the shifter arm and brake pedal. But if that doesn't work or look good then they're going. Just in the palnning stages right now.

I wanted to see if I could have both but it was too much of a hassle trying to figure it out, I would sell the set of forward controls and go with the stock Highway peg setup, I have them as well as an engine guard, don't use them much but they are there if I want them. I have pictures on my profile and if you want to see something I don't have a picture of PM me and I will post it. You may want to post a WTB Want To Buy for the Mids and see if some one on the Forum has them lying around that they don't want.
