Hello
I haven't used the threads before now so I wanted to say hi. I have a new (to me) 05 1200c sportster that I love! yeah I get some **** over it here and there but I dont care I just love riding her!.
I'm not overly mechanically inclined, seriously, I cant even get the oil filler cap to go back on right! so when the clutch cable snapped last week I was a little apprehensive about replacing it but I managed to do it and the bike still runs!
Sorry for the rambling bit there but was still a bit happy I did it.

Welcome!
Every victory, even minor maintenance and repairs add up to an overall independence from service shops. Get a Factory service manual and keep working on it.
As far as the oil cap, most people don't turn it far/tight enough because of oily fingers. Try gripping through a rag or dry napkin.

Welcome to the forum from a barrier island in New Jersey, and congratulations on the '05 1200 Custom! I have an '05 1200 Roadster with the same oil tank as you and concluded from day one that the engineer who designed the cap had obviously had a lousy childhood, so don't feel badly.
