I've got a lot of questions about my do it yourself (DIY) performance bagger mid control set up. I've been running this set up for about 3 years now and it's been a solid system. It's a basic set up and get the job done. My main reason is for my aggressive riding style and to get my foot position correct. You don't need to go and spend thousands of dollars to get what you need, plus its cool to have something that no one else does. I'm starting to realize that might not be the case after this video drop. Oh well!

Great job. This is a game changer for me. My old back hates forward controls.

Brother your controls look better than all the ones you can buy,and looks like better ground clearance than the store brought,im 6'8" tall and 375 lbs and have had fxrs and dyna's with mid mounts and hiway pegs im copying your set up on my road king thank you

Thank you but they definitely aren't "nicer" then others but they definitely get the job done

Great video, and resourceful thinking, i dig it! I run those cognito rearsets on my honda cafe racer, and have been thinking of doing the conventional mid control setup on my Fxdwg, but now I'm like how did this idea not hit me! For half the price and not having to open the primary... no brainer, YOU'RE THE MAN!!

Nice work man, had some xxx epic mids on my 2010 RG. . Took them of cause of an injury and went back to boards. Bike is not the same. I'm going to try this. So 2 left side dyna brackets? Cut one and flip then weld? Nice work

Very cool, I knew some smart guy would figure this out, wish you would have told us the cost, as some of these kits are ridiculous, like over a grand. Thank you for sharing.
