Default Nightster clutch cable

background--Friend of mine got his 08 1200n delivered 2 weeks before mine. After 5 miles he had a pool under his bike. Stealership told him it was a bad cable and replaced.---Today, after 480 miles, I just dropped mine off, same issue. They say bad cable, I say they eff'd up both putting the mini-apes on. Just looking for other opinions...

It sounds like they didn't put the O-rings on the end of the cables.

Sorry to go off topic, is it possible to do a hydrolic-conversion?

I really don't miss the clutch cable from my low rider, but I'm thinking of picking up a sporty as soon as money permits... just wondering.
