So Ive got a 03 883, just got it. Im dropping all three holes and when I take the derby cover off I find a retaining clip sitting at the bottom of the cover. After taking a look Im not sure where it is from, without tearing in deeper. I admittingly dont have any manuals yet, they are on the way. In the meantime anybody here have some ideas on what it should go to exactly?
I hate to tell you this but the only retaining clip I know of that looks like that is on the end of the starter Bendix gear . You won't find it in the manual * because HD like to pretend that the gear cannot be separated from the starter clutch . That said , I fail to see how it would function with the clip missing . It's the one on the extreme right . * 04 Roadster .
I hope thats not the case.. Im looking a bit closer and Im thinking it could be the end of the spring. About the same size and on end does look to be smooth while the other broken.
