RE: 07 FXD forward controls
Here's what I did. Fabricated a small 1/8" bracket to attach the mid-shift lever to the engine bolt. It was a lot of cutting and fitting, but it worked great. Also needed a small spacer, 5/16-24 cap screw and nut. You can see by the pictures what I made and how it attaches. Works great and no interferrence with the forward control shift rod. Or you can simply wedge it behind the bolt. The Harley forwards also include a new shift lever which is longer than the stock lever. This is totally unnecessary. The stock lever works just fine. As far as the spline on the mid-shift lever sticking out of the primary, I made a stainless cover with a set screw, but you need not go to that extreme. Just go to your local hardware store and pick up a small black rubber cap that fits over the spline. In my opinion, Harley marketing people are the best in the world. When you purchase assessories for your bike, they have theinstructions written so most people are too scared to try and end up taking it to the dealer for installing. Don't be afraid to try it yourself.

I just spent some time at my harley dealer and my friend the parts man and i took a look at the 06+ kit. from what i can tell there may be some issues with the back shift lever on the trans. the kit comes with a replacement that's about an inch taller. the only way to install that is to remove the inner primary (it looks like). i asked about the 2005 kit and he wasnt sure if it would work on the 96 motor. i am beginning to wonder if the Kuryakyn kit might work better. i would be interested if anyone has installed the 05 kit on an 07 or newer. i also would like to know how everyone did on installing the Kuryakyn kit. was it an easy install? thanks for your imput.
