I installed mids on my 48. Easy. Came off a 2014 nightster. Included all bolts, controls, and rear brake rod.
I prefer mids as I have more control over the bike and have a short inseam.

Just put mids on my '14 xl1200x as well. Great choice, i'd like to switch the pegs to something different. I used the stock forwards that came with the bike. For me, it was for control of the bike. I'll get highway pegs in the future.

Which mids did you put on your bike? I'm trying to figure out if the 2014 bikes are compatible with other year bikes.

I'm looking to purchase it off of a board member. Here is the link to it.

You need a few things more. Foot pegs, shift lever, rear brake rod...can't use a brake rod from a 2013 or older. The 2014 rear brake rod is different. Look on eBay. I got a complete set of mids from a 2014 nightster that a guy put forwards on. It was 100% complete. $100 with free shipping.
