Help! Clutch cable install!

I swapped my stock clutch cable with a Burly extended cable on my o5 superglide. Now the clutch will not disengage when pulling the lever, even with the adjustment backed all the way out. Any suggestions?

Well the OP asked at 3 o clock in the morning, Eastern Standard Time. Too many adult beverages could have something to do with the dumb question.

If you haven't already seen it, watch this video on youtube. Complete start to finish on clutch cable for a 2001 Dyna Super Glide. When in doubt, start over from the beginning.

When you say "does not disengage" , did I mean too much freeplay? How did you adjust the clutch pack and cable?
My guess either the ***** fell off the ramp or clutch adjustment. Please recheck.
