This Is Where
It Started.
Famous started with Mid Controls for choppers. The parts we wanted for our own builds simply did not exist, so we made them.
What began with stripped-down Evo and Twin Cam bikes, open belt drives and custom V-Twin builds became the foundation for everything that followed — Performance, Replacement and every Famous Mid Control after it.
Fitment &
Construction
Designed for custom chopper, Softail and Dyna applications using Evo or Twin Cam engines, 5- or 6-speed transmissions and compatible open belt drive systems.
The Part That
Started Everything.
Before Performance Series. Before Replacement Series. There were the Origin Mids.
Built for choppers, open primaries and custom V-Twin setups, and still the DNA behind every Famous Mid Control we make today.
Built For Choppers
Developed for stripped-down custom bikes, open belt drives and traditional V-Twin builds.
Open Belt DNA
Designed around the exposed mechanical layout that defines classic and West Coast-style chopper builds.
Mechanical First
Clean geometry, direct actuation and parts built to work as hard as the bikes they are mounted to.
Famous DNA
The Origin Mids became the technical and visual foundation for every Famous Mid Control series that followed.
Built Around
The Primary.
Origin Mid Controls are built around open-belt and custom-primary applications. Primary-drive geometry, clutch setup and component clearance are part of the complete installation.
Built For Open Belt.
- BDL: EVO-12S 3", EVO-9S 3", EV575 Series
- Ultima: 2" E/TC 90–06, EV500 91–05
- Primo: Brute IV 2" and 3"
Exact compatibility depends on the complete primary and frame setup.
Hydraulic Only.
These Origin Mid Controls are designed exclusively for hydraulic clutch systems.
They are not compatible with cable-actuated clutch systems. A compatible hydraulic slave-cylinder setup is required.
Check your clutch configuration before ordering.
Complete Origin Set.
- Brake-side Mid Control assembly
- Shift-side Mid Control assembly
- ISR 14mm rear brake master cylinder
Every Build Is Different.
Exact fitment, primary-drive compatibility, clutch requirements and installation details depend on the individual Origin Mid Control application.
Always check the product-specific fitment information before ordering.
Built Into
The Bike.
The Stainless Origin Mids use a different shift-side layout than the aluminum Origin setup.
The shift arm passes directly between the inner motor plate and the belt drive.
No drilling of the inner motor plate is required. The Stainless version is designed to achieve the shift-side routing without creating a shift-shaft passage through the motor plate.
Professional installation is recommended. Verify shift movement, brake operation, clutch operation, belt clearance, fasteners and exhaust clearance before riding.
Recheck all fasteners and control operation after the first 50 miles / 80 km.
