Slaved Forwards with Mids
Article by The Crusher of the XLFORUM 1)
- This mod uses standard mid controls and slaved forward controls and was made using Drag Specialties forwards.
- Either set will work in tandem (smoothly and cleanly) as they should for both braking and shifting.
- You can use the forwards for comfort on long rides and the mids for the twisties with the forwards folded up.
- You can also use the passenger pegs on the mids for about an inch wider foot stance.
- Two things to watch for:
- The angle of the hole you drill in your shifter. Set up the front first then mark, drill and tap it.
- Use a minimum of grade 5 bolt through the heim joint into the shifter since you DO NOT want that bolt to bend.
- Shift side (L):
A hole drilled and tapped in the bottom of the stock shift lever with a grade 5 bolt and a sleeve through the Heim joint. 2) | |
- Brake side (R):
A two hole bracket was fabricated to connect the forward control brake rod to the stock brake plunger. The two holes were drilled and tapped for the brake rods 3) |
