Hey guys. I've been looking at getting mid controls for my M8 Road Glide, and have possibly come across an issue here. With all the mids I have seen, I don't think any will fit the D&D Billet Cat Pipe I have. Does anyone know of a set of mids with will fit around this pipe?
Big Bear Performance, Boosted Brad, Dropkick Customs, Epic Moto, Sandiego Customs, to name a few. Seem to be two styles. The BBP style that mounts to the frame, and the Boosted Brad Style, that mounts to existing bolt holes. BBP says it works with the Thunderheader, and the Thunderheader appears to have the same routing as the D&D, but I'm not sure.

Well I'll be damned! Yea they're not cheap but pretty solid designs. I may look into that conversion on my old RK. I've always hated the floorboards.
Sorry I can't answer your question though. I'd resort to asking each individual provider. They would know their product best.
Personally out of those listed I like the Big Bear Performance design the best. The others bolt directly to the engine, whereas that one bolts to the frame. I can see the engine vibes working their way into my feet and getting annoying.
