I did not. Once you detatch the linkage for the mid conrols, the front portion of the compent can tuck itself away behnd the inner primary cover.
Maybe it isnt the best....but it is fine with me.

I've heard of ways around removing the primary housing such as leaving the shifter shaft in there as stated above and another way was to take a hacksaw blade and cut through the shaft from the backside of the primary housingso you canpullthe shaftthrough the front. hope this helps.

You don't have to remove the primary on the 2006 and up Dyna's. The 2006 kit comes with a longer rear shift lever that requires you to remove the primary to install it.That longer shift lever will give you more leverage for an easier shift, but it will also increase your throw.I preferthe shorter throw andit isnt any harder to shift then the original set up.I bought thethe cheaper 2005 kit because I planned on getting a custom shift rod.You have to use a longer shift rod with the 2005 kit other wise the front shift lever will hit the primary when you up shift. Also the 2005 kit comes with a bracket to bolt down the original shift lever, but it is pretty easy to remove, read below.[/align]
Removing the original shift shaft lever [/align]Geta hacksaw blade and tape each end with duct tape, leaving about two inches exposed in the middle. Also put some duct tape on the primary and cylinder cooling fins.Tape a wrench onone end to get a better grip (on the end of the bladeso as you pull on the wrench you will be on the cutting stroke of the blade).Slip the blade between the primary and engine from the bottom of the bike with the wrench end on the bottom.Use your other hand to guide the top of the blade as you cut. I cut about three quarters thru then wrapped a rag around the shift lever and used vise grips on the other end of the shaft splines and sheared it off.[/align][/align]
Coverforthe original shift shaft lever hole[/align][/align]I used achrome carriage bolt http://www.chromebolt.com/51618-x-134-chrome-carriage-bolt-p-845.html, and put atwo inchpiece of rubber hose on the threads then added some shrink sleeving on the hose to get a nice snug press fit into the empty shaft hole.

RE: 07 Street Bob Forward Controls.
I have an '07 Blue Denim Street Bob and spent the HD money to have the mid controls removed. I looked into securing the existing hardware for the mid controls and adding the forward controls, but after spending $16K OTD on the bike, I didn't have the heart to take a hack saw blade to it, and bolting them to the case was the other option.
