Performance Machine shift lever install problem?
#11
What kind of sled you have ?All PM kept saying was they work on our Fat Boy's.So if you have a Fat Boy you may be good to go.I don't really know what the difference can be ??? Then they kept telling me maybe something is different with the 2010 s. Then it was maybe its just your Deluxe.Wish I had a answer for you and me.It does suck, I have a shot gun shock,and a nacelle in the boxes in my garage I wanted to get at. But I wont even start that until this is resolved .Dude I'm so pissed right now I just feel like taking the bike to harley and letting them install the shock and nacelle.

Well...just installed the PM shifter and same problem here, the spacer is about 1/4" to big that came with the shifter. I'm going to see if I can get it machined locally instead of the waiting game.
Meanwhile, I've installed it without the spacer and wrapped up the end of the shift rod with electrical tape til I fine a proper grommet to go over it.
I also installed the rear PM brake lever with similar problems for fitting, after a little modification with a grinder, it fits. There quality control is a bit to be desired.
BTW, part no.'s are correct also for my Lo.
oh well....it LOOKS better now at least! lol

This is like the 7th person who has had this problem with this shift lever.They have either contacted me via pm or posted here.Both Fat Boy's and Deluxes's.I would say at this point this lever would not work on any softail(trying to delete the heel shift).With out getting the correct spacer.It is a nice looking and quality piece.But the fitment with the spacer is off.The spacer needs to be 3/4 " if any one is interested.Softbrake has what you need to make it work.I had no problems with the brake lever either.
