Hope this isn't thread hijacking but it seems like a good place to ask. I've been away for 7 years, last bike was an '02 Road King. When the heck and why did they change from that adjustable cable, the one with the jam nuts covered by an accordion looking rubber boot, to that spring loaded thing we have now?

I'm all for progress but it sure seems like a case of "it ain't broke but we'll fix it anyway". Or, the markeeters figuring they'll save a buck a bike.
