THROTTLE CABLES
I added 12” apes to my wife’s 04 883, got the Burley kit for doing the job and am at the point of running the throttle cables back to the carb. Can the carb stay in the bike or is it necessary to remove it to connect the cables? Since I have it apart I am adding a new hi flow air cleaner to it…what step have to be done to tune it after that is added?
Thank you in advance for all the help

I am not familiar with your year bike, but I have never removed a carb to replace the cables. With air cleaner and backing plate removed, you should have plenty of access to change the cables. Messing with your manifold is asking for an intake leak and causing issues. Good luck.

Just "being" for years will cause the manifold o-rings to get hard and cause them to leak. Wish I had all the CV40s that were thrown away and replaced with S&S or Mikuni just because of an intake leak they couldn't or wouldn't .find.
