They have to be loose enough so they don't bind when the bars are turned all the way to the left or right.
Don't really know what you mean by really loose, but how much play do they have? Since it's an easy job, just might as well adjust them. That way if they're not right you'll have solved that issue.
By loose I mean they swivel quite easily, I guess for steering purposes. The cables turn 90* out of the control housing. The metal end where the cables exit has about 1/4" to 3/8" up and down play. They seem secure, just a loose fit. I don't remember that on any of my other bikes. Just had dealer service done and they didn't mention any problem.
Or is this just another Harley "they all do that" moment?
Thanks guys
