Unhappy Depressed

So, a few hours ago there I was, side of the road after snapping the clutch cable. After calling around I decided the hell with this, fired her up, walked it into first and did the slow clutch less putt home.

After recently having hotter cams installed (point being it was just at the bike Doc getting adjusted)
Im a bit salty and having sick thoughts.... 200hp thoughts

Your wrench? If you fixed that bitch yourself you would have been done 2 hours ago! Order the cable?! The dealers stock that part!

Crash bar? Seriously??

Glad you are better now OP. I would have ordered Magnum Shielding matching cables.

He is not ordering Harley cables, all I know is he said I'll never have a problem with the clutch cable again.
I trust him 100%
He knows what to do

OEM clutch cables seem to last about 60,000 miles, give or take. That usually works out to about a half million shifts. Give or take.
