Foward Controls - 06 Bob
I bought the kit and would like to do the job myself.
So what am I getting into, how bad is it to take that primary cover off? Ill need some new gaskets and primary oil right?
Can anyone give me a run down of the job?

If you are set on doing this yourself...
Step 1. Buy a service manual.
Step 2. Follow guidance in said service manual.
I'm just messin with ya, well kinda. You might try doing a search on this subject. If I remember correctly there has been some advise given in the past.
Good Luck.

You can install them without taking the primary off. I put them on and wired the inside shifter arm to the engine so it wouldn't bang against anything. I will finish the job this winter when I can take my time and really do a good job and not screw anything up. (fingers crossed)

I just installed the 06 Forwards on my Street Bob last night withthout removing the primary, as so many other folks have done. The only issue I ran into was me being stupid (see my post today!) and breaking the head off a bolt. Otherwise, a clean and satisfactory job.

He just left the shifter shaft in. The only way to remove the shaft without cutting it is to take the inner primary off.
I did mine and I am hardly a good mechanic. I got the service manual made a tool or two and took my time.
Took 4.5 hours total.
