DIY Bagger Mid Controls

[@georgesmith5624]

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

[@throttled_roots]

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

[@slowdown6436]

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

[@throttled_roots]

Anything and everything is possible when you put your mind to it

[@Teufel33]

Hell yeah brother!! I'm converting my twin cam softail from forwards to mids and you just showed just how simple it can be!

[@throttled_roots]

Glad I could help!

[@nathanwilliams3839]

Gawd damn it. I’ve sat down and thought about this but I always over complicate it. Well done my guy

[@throttled_roots]

Sometimes you just have to get to it and figure it out along the way

[@2003cr85rexpert]

YOU ARE A GENIUS. you have saved me with my dyna wide glide, I am slowly un-boomering the bike and wanting to have mids and not having to spend a fortune. Thank you.

[@throttled_roots]

Doesn't have to take $1000s to have cool stuff

[@SloanSyndicate]

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!!

[@throttled_roots]

Why buy it when you can build it right?

[@donschlegel1972]

great thanks I could make put brass bushings in so no squeaky cool nice job

[@throttled_roots]

that might work

[@scottbarbosa8623]

[@blockblock7845]

[@DJBFC]

[@paule.maurice1521]

Thanks for sharing

[@michaelshea4286]

Great video man.

[@throttled_roots]

appreciate you watching!

[@Mikey-fx4rn]

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

[@throttled_roots]

Exactly what it is

[@ChrisF-t7z]

Was there a reason you didnt run the standard brake side mount that comes up on the inside of the exhaust?

[@johnbarber3499]

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.

[@throttled_roots]

I was in about $600 when it was all said and done.

[@JoshStidd]

Did you run into kickstand issues? Mounting mine up and the stand hits the mount and hangs way low and drags..

[@throttled_roots]

No issues with stand. I think I took off bump stop but that was is

[@lifebehindbars6388]

Love it so bad ass , what size is the linkage and rod ends? Thanks again man love your content 🎉

[@throttled_roots]

Thanks for watching. I dont know exactly, i just cut them to the length i needed, i can measure and let you know

[@lifebehindbars6388]

I’m actually trying to find the right size diameter of the linkage length should be easy , but the diameter you have looks bitchen and thanks for the response bro keep up the good work🎉

[@adam921]

Can you clarify cutting and flipping please lol. Did you cut flip and weld it back? Or just trim something off?

[@throttled_roots]

I cut and flipped it and welded it. If you dont, the pegs will not line up on each side of the bike

[@danielsantella7138]

where r u located? i have a pro Steet with forward control that i cant reach

[@throttled_roots]

Southern California

[@MilesOn2]

That's a good way to do it.

[@Bradtadabone]

How they holding up?

[@throttled_roots]

Been almost 4 years and the only thing I've had to fix is a shift arm that wore out from vibration but what harley doesn't that happen to?

[@kilanivelasco]

What year dyna mids did you use?

[@RogPics]

They look like 1991 to 2017 left sides

[@throttled_roots]

Any year will work

[@CarlosPerez-kx3iw]

Badass!!!!u just saved me 1000$$$$

[@throttled_roots]

Dont always have to spend big money to have cool stuff

[@johnnybotello4304]

Are they more comfortable???

[@throttled_roots]

I feel no difference from any other set of mid controls

[@aa79912]

🤘🤘🤘

[@Inkesomnia]

Lmao. Such a mad max idea. But it work. And is light with less parts. Is genius

[@throttled_roots]

Doesn't always take a lot of money to accomplish what you want.

[@DanBeanner-zo3ms]

Dude you can but arlen ness aetup for what you have in this.

[@throttled_roots]

This was done 4 years ago when no one was making mid controls. Since then the prices have come down due to the competition of the market. At the time I saved a lot of money and they have been just fine for 40,000 miles
