o.k., you are all going to wonder if i'm stupid, which i plead the 5th.....but I got some chrome trigger levers on the way. I have changed them on jap bikes many times, no problem. I see Harley doesn't use a bolt and nut to hold theirs on, they use a pin and clip. Other than that am I in for any surprises?

ez, you might wanna pick up new circlips beforehand.

Sometimes they stretch out of shape during the removal process,
and once in a while they get misplaced.

Can't remember now if you need to shim the brake light switch
for lever removal.

And don't forget the anti rattle spring.

Thanks guys! And there is no wife...hmmmmm maybe that's why? Hey rounder, I sent you a pm about the bags, how in the world did you mount them without relocating the turn sigs?

You can also break the plastic plunger on the brake light actuator. This will result in a brakelight that stays on all the time. I broke my plunger and ended up just removing the switch, the rear brake has a switch too, so I have to be sure I use the rear brake when I stop.

If you rip the boot the plunger is history, It's like a little bigger than a thread.. LOL .... You need to fix that switch... there not hard ... Your delaying the Brake light.. And that's not a good thing...
