clutch cable looks a little short

 

it's not........gravity is pulling the excess out of the camera's view

 

Nice job, I like your wheels.

 

I am about to enter into the same job myself on my Deluxe. This is an excellent and informative post. Great job and thanks for posting!

 

He makes it looks so easy...

 

yeah, it seems that way.........I didn't mention that the throttle cable that I removed was a bitch and refused to come out of the switch housing for about 30 minutes.......then literally almost fell out. I didn't mention that the clutch bracket that fit the old drag bars (that are the same manufacturer and size, 1.50" diameter) wouldn't tighten up on the new bars.......it seems the screws, same screws I was already using, were all of a sudden too long. I had to add 2 small washers to each screw so they wouldn't bottom out in the bracket.
I didn't mention that out of 14 wires to be removed from the harness plugs, 13 came out perfectly. Number 14 had to be abitch and I screwed around with it 10 or 15 minutes before it finally unlocked and came out.

So yeah.......it was really easy

 

Good post man, this is what this forum is all about. Can't wait to see the finished product. Welcome to the ape family.

 

I met some demons while doing my bars too.

 

Great post.

Thanks

 

I'm talking to the demons now. My apes, triple trees and fork lowers are on the way to the powder coater on Friday, I have parts all over the garage floor, wife is pissed. I love it!
