Removing Throttle/Idle Cables
I don't have a service manual. I have searched like crazy, but i can't find anyone who actually tells you how to remove the Throttle/ Idle cables from the lower housing.
Will someone please help me.
it seems as though there is a small ring clip on the inside that is holding it in, but i don't want to take that out if i don't have to ... i doubt i could get it back in.
I am mechanically inclined and do all my own repair/service/ mods ... just having a brain fart or something.

Most things on a Harley are actually easy to remove, install, etc.I think most of us are guilty at times of trying to over think how something comes apart, i know i have felt kinda dumb a few times over the years once i realized how something comes off or goes on. Sometimes we forget these things are put together on assy lines where simplicity helps the bike get down the production line smoothly.A shop manual will save you literally thousands of dollars over the years of owning your bike, car, boat engine etc.

i just like to tinker aimlessly. I know it sounds stupid, but i feel like my bikes become more of me that way.
i will help in the forum as often as i can.

I like to tinker, too.......but get the manual. Sometimes you can go about doing something the long way or the wrong way (never happened to me though)!

Amen to that. Saw an auction on Ebay for 10 of the little bastards for $4. Almost bought them just to have them. Hang an empty paint can or small plastic bucket under the throttle assembly. That'll catch them 90% of the time. Good luck with the other 10% of the time.
