Yeah man I'm very familiar with what it takes to change a clutch cable.
None of what you said above makes it a $250 job unless you are adding in the price of the cable and tranny fluid.
Well that and padding the hours a bit.

ok, so maybe he is padding... Im new to HD and this is not a certified dealership doing it. I may try it if its not that big a deal. I guess the tool can be borrowed from NAPA? If you have any tips about removing it once the tranny is open please share because the manual sounds like all kinds of messed up

So far everything I've done to my bike (it's been a lot) when I did it for the first time I was intimidated as hell but once I was done I felt relieved about how easy it was.

It's up to you and how comfortable you are with tools in your hand.

So i took it to a buddy of mine that does work at $95 hr.
he charged $155 after tax and i gotta say because he let me see what it took, i dont think i could have done this in a day. I also didnt have the circlip tool. Anyway, im relieved to have it done now.
thanks for the advice guys
