Trader Cody’s Midway Shovelhead mid controls are created to put your foot between your motor and tranny on an open belt chopper. They are designed to fit with cone Shovelhead (1970-1984) and Evo engines (1984-1999) with a 4 speed transmission. Midway Mids are a finished part in black or chrome and feature brass bushings for long life, with all components needed to have a working right side control. For use of belts up to 2” and transmissions with a main shaft support.
What’s in the box?!?!?
Midway Mids bracket in chrome finished plated by ABC plating right here in Reno, Nevada
Foot peg mount with clevis to mount latter style pegs and hardware
Chrome shifter arm with rubber toe shifter
Parkerized inner shift arm
Shrunken head stickers and other swag
What’s not in the box?!?!?
Shift linkage to reach the tranny. (There are to many variables i.e. ratchet top or rotary, foot clutch or hand shift, FL or FX shift pattern.)
Bolts. Again because of so many variables and finish you will have to buy 4 bolts to mount the Midway Mids to your transmission and engine. The tranny side should be 3/8x16 and the engine side should be 5-16x18.
Balls to ride a chopper the right way with your foot chilling next
Trader Cody’s Midway Mids installation guide for all transmission options
The options and part numbers I have listed below are my recommendations for what I know works, although there are other ways to mount these mids and connect them to your transmissions.
Engine year range:
Harley-Davidson Big Twins 1970-1999 (and aftermarket engines based on these year bikes)
Transmission year range:
1965-1985 (and aftermarket transmissions that are based around these years)
Brake options for the right side: For the right side of your bike and the rear brake I recommend you use an OEM FX or FXE brake pedal assembly, or you can use SKU 017628 Mid Brake Control Kit. If your bike does not have a master cylinder mount an option you can use the SKU 017633 Trader Cody's Rear Master Cylinder Mount for Harley-Davidson 4 Speeds.
