Ok so I just put on some forward controls i got off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=380035675497
On my 883 2008 Sportster but when I shift gears it only goes 1st 2nd and Neutural. Its not like the stock shift was when shifting you know how it kinda springs back into place?? Well these dont they just stick. What wrong??? PLEASE HELP!!!

 

have you adjusted the shift rod properly? It has a nut on either end to shorten or lengthen the rod.

 

[:@] No and I messed with it before I screwed it on. Ill try!

 

Well I tryed and it didnt seem to make much of a diffrence.&nbsp\\;

 

Lunchmeat, your user name made me [sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]

 

Just to double check that Im not retarded but you tightin the nuts to make it shorter right?

 

Lunchmeat,
The nuts are just jam nuts.&nbsp\\; To shorten or lenghten the shift rod you need to unbolt one end.

 

the point where the shift lever pivots on the foot peg is&nbsp\\; too tight and it needs to be lubed or the pivots on the linkage need to be lubed. i sprayed a quick shot of penetrating oil on mine and it freed it up...just work it back and forth before you install it. a little bit of rust in there and itll stick . if the linkage moves far enough to engage&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;second gear then it has enough travel to get 3rd through 5th too.&nbsp\\; just try some oil and it should be fine

 

I will try that

 

I havent heard of any springs. I just installed and go
