Default Broken clutch cable.

The clutch cable on my 95 flht broke.
It had always been a hard pulling cable.
Lubing it didn't help.

I bought a new one from a local indy.
It has a teflon liner and you are warned not to lube it.

Well I installed it and adjusted the slack out of it.
I went for a test ride and I was amazed at how easy it was to disengage the clutch.

I wish it had broken years ago.

My '90 cable didn't break, but was heavy, so I replaced it with an H-D Diamondback. Darned thing was so easy I removed the Clutchlite device I had fitted some while before.
