Mid Controls position the rider's foot controls around the central area of the motorcycle instead of using forward-mounted controls.

Famous Fabricator builds model-specific Mid Controls for Harley-Davidson motorcycles and custom V-Twin builds, ranging from classic choppers to modern performance bikes.

Famous Mid Controls are available for a wide range of Harley-Davidson and V-Twin applications including Shovelhead, Evolution, Sportster, FXR, Dyna, Softail and Touring platforms.

Availability depends on the exact model, year, drivetrain, primary setup and individual motorcycle configuration. Always use the product-specific fitment information before ordering.

Famous Origin Series is where Famous started: Mid Controls built around classic Harley-Davidson and V-Twin chopper applications, including Shovelhead and Evolution setups.

Famous Performance Series is built for Harley-Davidson performance applications where the stock position, stock feel or stock hardware no longer fits the build.

Famous Replacement Series keeps the proven factory Mid Control position while replacing the original components with Famous hardware.

That depends on the motorcycle and what you want from the setup.

Origin is aimed at classic chopper and V-Twin applications. Performance is built around more performance-oriented Harley-Davidson setups. Replacement is designed around the original factory Mid Control position.

The exact product page always takes priority when checking fitment.

Famous Fabricator parts are designed and developed in Germany. Our components are CNC-machined to Famous specifications and hand-finished in Germany.

The exact construction and material depend on the individual product.

Many Famous Mid Control components are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum or manufactured from stainless steel. Stainless hardware and shafts are used where specified.

Materials vary by product and series. Always check the technical information on the individual product page.

Start with the exact Harley-Davidson model and model year. Then check the product-specific fitment information.

Modified motorcycles can require additional checks. Exhaust, primary drive, engine, transmission, clutch system and other aftermarket components can affect compatibility.

If you are unsure, contact Famous before ordering and send us your bike model, year and current setup.

Not automatically.

Harley-Davidson model year is only one part of fitment. Exhaust systems, primary drives, clutch systems, engine and transmission combinations and previous modifications can change the available space around the controls.

Product-specific fitment information always takes priority over general platform information.

It depends on the Mid Control application and the exhaust system installed on the motorcycle.

Some setups work without exhaust modification. Others may require changes because the controls, brake system or linkage occupy space used by the existing exhaust.

Famous Replacement Series applications are specifically built around the original factory Mid Control layout. If an exhaust works with that original layout, the Replacement Series keeps that control position intact.

Selected Famous Origin Mid Controls are designed for open primary and belt-drive applications.

Compatibility depends on the exact Mid Control, motor plate, belt drive and clutch setup. Supported BDL, Ultima and Primo/Rivera Primo applications are listed on the relevant Origin product or series information.

Do not assume that every Famous Mid Control is compatible with every open primary system.

That depends on the application.

Many Famous systems are designed as model-specific bolt-on solutions. Other setups — particularly custom chopper and open primary applications — can require additional installation work.

For example, selected Origin Evolution aluminum Mid Controls require the shift shaft to pass through the inner motor plate, which requires the corresponding hole to be drilled.

Always follow the installation information for the exact product.

Installation involves safety-critical motorcycle components. Correct assembly, adjustment and function must be verified before the motorcycle is ridden.

If you do not have the required mechanical knowledge, tools or experience, installation should be carried out by a qualified motorcycle workshop.
