Nightster Mid Control
I'm looking to buy a used nightster with less than a 1000 miles from the dealer. It has forward controls on it and that is to far for me, I need mid controls. Being a newby I'm not sure what this would cost. Any help would be appreciated. I did google mid controls without any luck.

Check the classifieds on here (blue bar above ^). I've noticed some for 50 bucks and every blue moon a set for free (just pay shipping). Somebody will probably be more than happy to make an even trade for your forwards, but I'd keep the forwards (for use later) and get a set of used mids until you've put a few miles on the bike. You might change your mind and those forwards are about $400 just for the kit.
A set of mids should include a shorter brake rod, one peg mount (for brake side), two frame mounts, a shift lever, and a brake lever. You can re-use your existing foot pegs and shifter peg.

my best advice is to give those forward controls a try. They seemed too far for me also in the beginning but now I love them. Those are too expensive to have to buy later down the line if you decide you dont like your legs up your azz while riding. btw I am only 5'5

I understand this is an old thread but this is the information I was looking for and I just want to get some clarification. Mid controls from a 2010 iron 883 would fit on a 2008 nightster?

Should fit no problem same rubber mount perimeter style frame since '04. Anything before that ear and you may have some trouble. Some slight changes were made in 2010 but, nothing major such as to the frame that I know of.
