Old School
Origin.
Famous started with Mid Controls for choppers. The parts we wanted for our own builds simply did not exist, so we made them.
The Stainless Shovelhead Mids bring that same Origin philosophy to classic FL and FX builds — open belt, 4-speed transmission and the raw mechanical layout of an old-school V-Twin.
Fitment &
Construction
Designed specifically for Shovelhead FL and FX applications from 1970–1984 using a 4-speed transmission and compatible open belt drive setup.
Built For
Shovelheads.
Shovelhead builds belong to the same world the Origin Series was created for: stripped-down bikes, open primaries and visible mechanical function.
The Stainless Shovelhead Mids combine that old-school layout with the stainless construction of the Origin Stainless line.
Built For Shovelheads
Developed specifically around classic FL and FX applications with a 4-speed drivetrain.
Stainless Construction
Structural control components are CNC-machined from stainless steel.
304 Stainless Hardware
Shafts and bolts are manufactured from 304 stainless steel.
Open Belt DNA
Built around the exposed primary and mechanical layout of traditional Shovelhead chopper builds.
4-Speed.
Open Belt.
This Origin setup is designed around the drivetrain geometry of Shovelhead FL and FX applications using a 4-speed transmission and open belt drive.
Shovelhead 4-Speed.
Designed for Shovelhead FL and FX models from 1970–1984 using a 4-speed transmission.
Verify your complete drivetrain configuration before ordering.
Built For Open Belt.
The Shovelhead Origin Mids are designed around open belt drive applications.
Exact compatibility depends on the complete primary, transmission and frame setup.
14mm ISR.
The brake side is equipped with a 14mm ISR rear brake master cylinder.
The master cylinder is integrated directly into the brake-side control assembly.
Every Build Is Different.
Exact fitment and available clearance depend on the complete frame, drivetrain, primary and exhaust configuration.
Upswept pipes, drag pipes and other custom exhaust systems can affect clearance.
No Motor-Plate
Drilling.
The Stainless Shovelhead Mids use the dedicated shift-side routing of the Origin Stainless design.
The shift arm passes directly between the inner motor plate and the belt drive.
No drilling of the inner motor plate is required.
Exhaust clearance can vary, especially with custom upswept or drag pipes. Minor adjustments may be required depending on the individual bike.
Professional installation is recommended. Verify shift movement, brake operation, belt clearance, fasteners and exhaust clearance before riding.
Recheck all fasteners and control operation after the first 50 miles / 80 km.
