Mid-Control Kits, Jagged Rotor Options and Chain Drive Conversion
Arlen Ness' custom mid-control kits for FLT Touring models bring the foot controls to a mid-control position - increasing ground clearance and putting the rider in a more aggressive riding position.
The innovative control design utilizes the factory foot control (floorboard) mounts on the frame, instead of mounting to the engine, which allows for less vibration and, in most cases, eliminates the chance for engine case damage in the event of an accident. Mid-control positioning is slightly more forward than standard mid-control setups, providing a more aggressive riding position while maintaining comfort on longer rides.

Each control arm is CNC-machined from billet aluminum, while each control mount is made from CNC-bent steel for durability and factory-like fit. The kits include both brake and shift side foot control assemblies (no pegs or shift pegs included) and accept any male mount style footpegs or H-D big twin shift/brake peg on 2014-2023 FLT Touring/Bagger models (except 2023 FLHXSE & FLTRXSE). They accept any male mount footpeg set and H-D big twin shift/brake pegs.
They are a bolt-on installation for factory exhaust/headers and aftermarket pipes. The company says that "extensive R&D and road testing has shown that they deliver an improved smooth shifting and braking function. Installers will need to separately buy footpegs, shift peg and brake peg - allowing the rider to add their preferred style or color of pegs."

Also seen here, Arlen Ness Jagged rotors took the industry by storm when they were first introduced, offering an economical, high performing 420 stainless steel rotor in 11.8" and 11.5" options.
"Over the years, we've grown this line into a powerhouse of braking options. It now includes the 2024 FLT 320MM spoke mount rotor, 15" rotor for Dyna, Sportster, Softail, 14" rotor for FLT models, 11.8" replacement rotor, 11.8" rear replacement rotor and 11.5" replacement rotor.
"All the kits are sold separately, finished in polished, black or gold, and include the caliper relocation brackets and pair nicely with our newest line of titanium Holeshot rotor hardware. Floating rotor kits include (5) titanium floating bolts and (5) spring washers; rotor to hub kits are either (5) 5/16" or (5) 3/8" hub-mounting bolts."
Additional features include CNC-machined finishing on every surface and edge for a smooth feel and better performance, 420 stainless construction, engineered for optimum performance and heat dispersion, with spoke-mount style rotors available in 320 mm diameter.
Fitments include 2024-later FLT Touring/Bagger front wheels equipped with factory 320 mm spoke-mount type rotors.
Finally, and brand-new to the Arlen Ness range, this new Jagged chain drive conversion for 2009-2024 FLT Touring models converts from belt to chain drive, with each kit featuring specially designed front and rear sprockets that allow for bolt-on installation, eliminating the need for grinding the inner primary for clearance.
The 27-tooth front sprocket and 57-tooth rear sprocket retains the factory gear ratio, with both sprockets featuring a drilled out Jagged design style that is both heated-treated and coated for long-term durability.

| Jagged cush drive chain conversion kit |
The cush drive assembly is CNC-machined from billet aluminum and finished in black anodize. The use of 530 chains that are 130 links long is required, with the chain (sold separately) needing to be cut down to size. The kit works with both factory and aftermarket cush drive rear wheels.
