Default First thing dad taught me
I need help re-routing my throttle and idle cables on my 2002 heritage classic. I got in new cables in and took the old ones off. Then it hit the fan life. By the time I was able to back to the bike it has been a couple of weeks and now I cant remember for the life of me how they go. Like dad used to say if you cant get it done the same day wait or write it down. Damn he was right again. If you have pictures that would be great to.

What are we working on? On my EFI bike, the cable with the spring at the end is the idle cable and goes in the outboard radius of the throttle body and the hole on the grip nearest the rider. Hope this helps.

Sorry about that it has a carburator. I know where they go on the carb I just forgot how they go from the grip to the carb. How the go through this and that and tuck in the right way.

If some one doesn't it before morning I'll take pix then and post them. No guarantee on pic quality, though.

I don't have a nacelle. Just a Softail Standard. Hopefully someone in here with one will chime in.

I have an 09 Fatboy and they don't go through the nacelle... just slide in behind it and inside the tank cushion like QC pictured.
