Anyone have any good links to a Mid Control setup?
Bike is a 2012 XL1200C

Thanks in advance...

Put up a swap thread. There seems to be quite a few who would like forwards; you shouldn't have too much trouble finding someone.

 

I switched to mid controls on my '11 Custom. H-D use to sell the kits, but probably no longer.

TC Bros has them for your bike. As already mentioned, check the forum classifieds. They show up now-and-then.

Once you get the mids on, you can install the Sportster hwy peg mounts in the forward position to stretch out on the long rides.

 

You did not say if you still have the stock exhaust on your 2012 XL1200C.

Regardless, you might want to do some research as to whether you will
have interference with mid controls.

good luck,

T.

 

I put a set on mine that I bought on Amazon. Good quality black set.

 

Due to H-D changing the rear brake master cylinder from the left to the right hand side in 2014, you'll need to buy mid controls for 2004 to 2013 Sportster models. The brake actuator rod on 2014 to 2021 models isn't compatible with your 2012 Sportster. The gear shift side was unaffected by the change in 2014.

I would love mids on my 48 but nobody makes them. Getting really frustrated since both of my bikes are done as far as I can make them without completely chopping them up and throwing buckets of cash at them. The aftermarket really stopped caring long before harley did for both late Dynas and Sportsters.

 

Frames are the same between models in '19, so the left side mid mount/shifter would be easy.
It's the right side that will be questionable depending on what exhaust system you have.
The HD mounts aren't cheap... Here's a LH pic showing the difference in 'mid mounts' between
the 'normal' and the 'further forward' version from the 'T' model.





hth,

I have mid controls on my 2011 that I would swap for forward. I do want to keep the engine guard.

 

The swap offered above is the way to go, go make a deal!!!!

Second option is the Bay, you want factory parts, always superior in quality. Good luck on making a deal for the swap.
