Kevin ... in this picture, it appears the mid step interferes with the parking brake. Or is that just the photo angle???
They sell an extension for the pedal as well. It’s about $30. I have one and it works well.

First let me make it clear that I have no problem with companies making money on what they sell and I know that companies that develop a product have a lot of time and research into designing and producing a marketable product. I know they have to design the product, make sure it works, is reliable, and produce jigs etc. to make the parts from when ready to produce the items.
It seems that two companies, maybe more, sell this mid step and they look identical and the price is the same. Having said that, if I bought one it would be from DK Custom Products. I have purchased a lot of stuff for my TGU from them and have been well pleased with all of it.
However, I just can't see this costing $500.00 without the floor boards. I can certainly understand consitter purchasing one and applaud him for doing so. Also people who have knee or back trouble etc. can justify the cost. I guess I will just keep looking for a used one for sale or maybe somebody will have a sale on new ones.:clapping:
One more question, will the stock HD rear floorboards mount on the mount or does it require special floor boards to be purchased?

By looking at the picture it will still work, just lift up the trike step and it will work, my question is do you really need the parking brake extension, hope Kevin chimes in and says I'm wrong or right and if he put the brake extension on
All for now Trampas

I had actually forgot about this .... seems I got back into old habits when I rode two wheelers for about a year in between knee replacements ... hope this helps someone ... it was posted by a member here ... forget his name .. Jim? James? John? ... anyway enjoy ... I had actually got in the habit of doing this before the knees and got out of the habit after the knees ... LOL ... enjoy ... I'm gonna concentrate of getting "back in the habit".
I actually modified it a tad by standing totally after each step. Made it easier on the knees ... not trying to hyjack here .. just bring back a blast from the past that help me with the old cranky knees ... might be handy for some that can't spend the $$$ for the mid step. I'm one of those ... I can spend the $$$, but, in my case it would be like $800 by time I purchased a matching Kuryakyn passenger pads .. their like $300 a pair if I remember. ... Now that is crazy money ... :AGGHH: ... they are getting hard to find on eBay NOS ... so I'd probably have to go to Kuryakyn ... I think I'd really like the mid step ... but ... I'd also like:
Mini Apes
Rake Kit
Oil Relocation and Cooler Kit
$80-$10K paint job
Well ... you get the idea ... ... Perrier tastes on an Tap Water budget ... LOL.
Scott, no offense intended, you you need them for yourself or for a family member they are worth the price or more, but as with most things they are way overpriced. At some point I may need them and will have to spend the price.
just sayin
please show us your design .I made my own mount and order floorboards from JP cycles for 50.00. When I got done I had about 75.00 in everything. I used square tubing and machined a plug to go in to the square that the floorboard mounts to. They make it easy to get on and off.:clapping:

Would you share a link to the rear floor boards on JP Cycles for $50.00 please. I can't find the actual floorboards for anywhere near that on there site. I found some covers for around that price. Not saying they aren't there, I just couldn't find them. Can you post some pictures of the floor boards and you mount you made?
Here ya go...I also would like to see the mount ..https://www.jpcycles.com/product/5500000/j-p-cycles-universal-chrome-mini-floorboards?redirectedKeyword=5500000&totalResult=1
