ok heres a new guy question
ok i just finished installing a set of forward controls on my 2011 street bob. this is gonna be a dumb question....where do i add the fluid back in? i know it holds about 1qt. there is no hole in the chain drive cover to add fluid. once i figure that out i will be praying that i assembled everything correctly.

1st off get a Factory Service manual because it has everything.
2nd you refill the primary by removing that round cover held in with a torx. Add your quart and put the cover back on.
On the pic below the silver round cover on the primary cover with the 5 torx bolts.

thanks got it. my question now is my clutch. before i put the forward controls on it released alot sooner then it does now after being in the chaincase area. now it releases when the lever is almost all the way out. can this be adjusted? did i screw something up while doing the install?

You need a 11/16 offset wrench and an allen wrench (don't remember which size).
If you search youtube, there is a very simple video posted by ExpertVillage.

Loosen your clutch cable completely at the adjuster.
Open your derby cover.
Loosen the large (11/16) locknut.
Tighten the adjuster screw (allen) until you see it start to engage the clutch. You'll see the plate in the center start to pull in.
Loosen that adjuster 1/2-1 turn back out.
Tighten locknut.
Adjust clutch cable.
Verify it all engages properly.
Reinstall the derby cover. Shouldn't take more than 15min to do.
