Great video - its Crazy how much time and effort is required to disassemble the bike to add these controls! I was considering it but now probably wont.
Can you adjust the height of the levers once installed? I sat on a mid control Sportster S and couldn’t get my toes off the brake lever and had to raise my leg to downshift the shift lever.
I have to admit, there were times where it was a little bit of a challenge. Mostly with the brake lines. If you decide to try to tackle it yourself, send us any questions you may have. Glad you liked the video.
Wish you would have shown how to disconnect the fuel line. You said that there is a quick disconnect, and there is not at least not on my Sportster S. And I removed everything you guys did.
Have you had any issues with your sporters s not holding a charge on battery. I just had my battery tested and it is good. Something keeps draining my battery.
Sure, but it may be a little bit before I can put the video together. We are going on a motorcycle trip for the next couple of weeks, followed by a video that covers the installation of accessories on the Pan America. It's a good idea.
Great video! well done as always. Question, why changing from forward controls to mid controls? Aren't the forward controls more comfortable for cruising?
The acceleration of the Sportster forces your bum to slide backwards. Chad was thinking that this foot placement would better plant him in the seat as he races around town. For tall guys, like me (6'2"), I prefer the forward controls.
We got lucky. Ordered them directly form HD website and took about a week in delivery. Purchased these back in March 2022 before a lot of these parts started becoming backordered.
This is harley for you med controls whey didn't they listen because they new what they were doing MARKETING BIG MONEY BECAUSE THEW WERE LOSING THERE CASH FLOW YUP YUP YUP THAT'S THEM PUT A THOUGHT IN PEOPLE'S MINDES LEMAY

How did you figure out the order for the two pins that go to the silver bulb next to the abs system
Doing this next weekend, thanks for th evid!
Edit: after seeing what a pain in the ass this is, I’ll be taking it to the stealership lol

Having trouble taking the tank off. How do I disconnect the fuel line?? Iv taken off the 1250 plastic and see the lines. But how do you disconnect it?
Please tell me how you got that gas tank off, I am struggling to figure it out

Did u drain the tank before u removed it
How many inches does the mid controls move the pegs back?

There's a recall regarding the RHCM....the RHCM could be the culprit.
It is cool！ I also painted the muffler of my bike.
There is a good chance that we'll replace it with an aftermarket exhaust. Still researching.
linkage could have been ez to move forward; mid or full like kawasaki vulcan S did; But this makes more money for HD
Can you show step-by-step how to remove the gas tank?

would be good first to show the position on the bike parts for mid; to forward reach. see where it is on both cases
Wow nice bro
Thanks!

Can't find mid-control anywhere. Out of stock till mid 2023 from Harley.

Why does someone chance one of the most interesting things of the bike? Mid controls on HDs should not be allowed
Was thinking of getting this but after seeing the price and having to mess with abs and brake lines ,I’ll pass
It is a little more involved than some of our other projects.
I know it's been a year since this video was posted, but have you seen the rear control set from Sato Racing? There might be others.
All that work to change to mid controls, bad design.
It was a lot of work.

Definitely. Harley makes some good money with their oem parts.
