While searching for mid control kits for touring bikes all roads lead to Big Bear Choppers, or Big Bear Performance. These kits are $1000. Great ideas but I can't believe that this is the only place to buy kits for mid controls for a touring bike. I know alot of ppl would say I'm stupid for desiring the mids but I prefer them to forward controls so I understand that I will have to pony up that kinda cash if that is what I'm looking for but there has to be other options. Anyone know of any?

 

A company called Jaybrake does em too.They got bought out by Supertrapp apparently. Not really any better on price from what I can tell.

Those are more like forward controls without the floorboards. I'm looking for true mids, like what would be on a dyna, fxr, even a sporty.
And yes those prices aren't any better

 

BMW's and Honda's come stock with mid's. Sorry couldn't resist. Maybe someone else will have an idea of where to locate some.

 

There's these but they're $2000 😬

I can see only two different people paying $2000 for a set of Mids

1. Someone with Truly "Drop in the Bucket" Money
2. Someone with "More Money than Sense"


I hope anyone buying is of the first ... for them and their families sake

 

Those $2000 controls defeats the whole purpose of this thread. Well maybe not. I should have specified that I was looking for less expensive options.

 

Buy the bike that fits you, regardless of the brand.

 

If you already have the touring bike, it doesn't help, but it's pretty easy to make a Sportster, Dyna or a Softail into a touring bike. You can have the comfort, riding position, wind protection and luggage. There are plenty of batwing fairings and saddle bags out there.
