===== Slaved Forwards with Mids =====
Article by The Crusher of the XLFORUM ((https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/frame-mount-evo-sportster-talk-1986-2003-models/185126-slaved-mids-and-forward-controls?t=1983927&highlight=slaved)) \\  

  * 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)**:

  * **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 ((photos by The Crusher of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/frame-mount-evo-sportster-talk-1986-2003-models/185126-slaved-mids-and-forward-controls?t=1983927&highlight=slaved))  ||
