I bought a new linkage that is suppose to fit my 2000 fatboy. at the shortest adjustment it is still about 3/4" longer than the stock rod. can I use this or no?
Yes...Disconnect the old one.
and adjust the new one to be as close to the old ones length as possible.
Then just allow the shifter shaft to extend as far as need be to accept the new shift linkage.
Your foot shifter will position itself to a new position and you will probably say WTF!
Simply remove the shifter from the shifter shaft spline and reposition it back to your normal shifting position.
