| + | These were built for a 2009 1200C. \\ | ||
| + | You may have to do some measurements and fitting on different year models but the concept is the same. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | This design will not work on the Mid Controls as there is no connecting rod. \\ | ||
| + | Mid mount controls have a shift lever that mounts directly on the splined shaft coming out of the transmission housing. \\ | ||
| + | However, you may be able to study, measure and come up with a design. \\ | ||

| + | These instructions are valid only for Forward controls on a 2004 – 2009 (2010??) Sportster. \\ | ||
| + | The unit I made for Terp84Alum required some modification and redesign due to the different footrest shaft used on the non-rubber mount bikes. \\ | ||
| + | Unfortunately when I converted the drawing to a PDF file, the templates do not print out true to size. \\ | ||
| + | They are close, but will need to be enlarged slightly to be accurate. \\ | ||
| + | The Shift Peg Rail is 8-1/2" end to end. \\ | ||
| + | The printed measurements are correct. \\ | ||

| + | **Tools**: \\ | ||
| + | Drill Press, Band Saw, and a bench mounted Belt Sander (other than common hand tools). \\ | ||
| + | And a LOT of "elbow grease" (12 - 16 hours of labor.) \\ | ||
| + | **Parts**: \\ | ||
| + | The 1/4" aluminum was $12.22 - ordered from McMaster-Carr (#8975K713). \\ | ||
| + | Bolts were less than $5.00. (Lowes). \\ | ||

| + | Here version 3 with refinements. \\ | ||
| + | This is a more sleek and refined finish. \\ | ||
| + | The shift peg rail and shift lever arm are now made of 1/2" aluminum and are not laminated. \\ | ||
| + | The overall laminations are reduced from 7 to 4. \\ | ||
