Anyone Need A Forward Control Tool?
Ihave an extra sprocket holding tool made up if anyone needs one. it's made from 1/4" platesteel and works great to hold the sprockets during the installation of your new Forward Controls or for when it comes time to remove everything to change a drive belt. I'll post a picture when I get home from work. this is for 06' and newer bikes.

RE: Anyone Need A Forward Control Tool?
You don't need that tool because you don't have to remove the primary on the 2006 and up Dyna's. The 2006 kit comes with a longer rear shift lever that requires you to remove the primary to install it.That longer shift lever will give you more leverage for an easier shift, but it will also increase your throw.I preferthe shorter throw andit isnt any harder to shift then the original set up.I bought thethe cheaper 2005 kit because I planned on getting a custom shift rod.You have to use a longer shift rod with the 2005 kit other wise the front shift lever will hit the primary when you up shift. Also the 2005 kit comes with a bracket to bolt down the original shift lever, but it is pretty easy to remove, read below.

Removing the original shift shaft lever
[/align]Geta hacksaw blade and tape each end with duct tape, leaving about two inches exposed in the middle. Also put some duct tape on the primary and cylinder cooling fins.Tape a wrench onone end to get a better grip (on the end of the bladeso as you pull on the wrench you will be on the cutting stroke of the blade).Slip the blade between the primary and engine from the bottom of the bike with the wrench end on the bottom.Use your other hand to guide the top of the blade as you cut. I cut about three quarters thru then wrapped a rag around the shift lever and used vise grips on the other end of the shaft splines and sheared it off.

RE: Anyone Need A Forward Control Tool?
To do the job correctly you do need this tool becuase you need to remove the original shifter shaft from the backside of the primary housing, you will also need to remove the trans shift lever to install the longer lever supplied in your kit. The tool locks the compensator sprocket and clutch sprocket from moving so you can remove/install the 165 ft/lb bolt which is locktited in. You can Hack your stuff up doing it the other way but why dothe installhalf *** when you paid good money for your bike and new forward controls? WS6 and I have got into this discussion in the past so we obviously don't have the same opinions on which is the right way to do the job but if you don't want to cut up your stock parts, leave the shifter in and zip tie it or leave the stock trans shift lever in and have to buy a longer shift rod then you will need to do it the way that HD recommends. hope this helps.

Sorry, but I still think it is better to do it as you say, the "half ***" way. There is really no reason to tear the bike apart to install them. You end up with the same result except you still retain the shorteroriginal rear shift lever which gives you a shorter shift throw and a lower and level shift rod which in my "opinion" looks a lot better. And as far as all your other posts on this subject I don't know whatto say.......

Leaving it in there is just plain stupid and anyone that does that to a Harley should be shot and forced to ride a jap bike.

Doing that is fine if you want to hack off the original shaft and do it the shadetree way. I like to keep all my original parts so that if I ever need to resort back to them they are in usable condition. also if I ever sell the bike I have the original parts to reinstall or give to the new owner. I am just the type of person that takes pride in doing the job the correct way the first time.
