Help- Throttle Cables Won't Adjust??
Changed out the handlebars and grips and now I can't get the throttle/idle cables to adjust properly? Bike is an 06' FLHX with carb. I have done this several times over the years w/o a problem( once on this bike and also on previous bikes). New bars are a bit taller and wider than old bars, so I don't think the cables are too long? I follow the procedure in the manual but when I start turning the throttle cable adjuster counter-clockwise to bring the throttle cam stop up to the stop plate, I run out of threads on the cable adjuster before the cam stop hits the stop plate. Seems like I have too much cable to adjust? Could they have stretched somehow?? Thanks for any help..........

Nevermind. I got some help from another forum. I know this forum is more about colors of bikes and what seats feel the best rather than technical questions........

Yep - that's right. When I needed assistance with a stuck bolt, dyna members told me how to fix it, but that must have been a fluke. When I had a question about my clutch the other day, again a fluke, when several gave me some suggestions. And, the other day when I had a problem with my wife's car, and another member went above and beyond, again an anomaly. Seriously, give the members here some time to see the posts and someone will help. You posted on Friday night late when we were enjoying the liquid fruits of our labor, and checked again on Saturday morning when we were probably sleeping it off or getting in an early morning spin. A lot of peacocks here for sure, but the experience here outweighs the dog and pony shows, just have to have some patience and sift through the non-technical stuff and you'll find what you need.

O.K., I guess I got a little impatient. I have noticed that this forum gets a little cheesy with posts like "what should I call my bike" and "what color is the best" and then these cheesy posts get pages of responses! I would be nice to see more technical posts and responses for people that actually work on their bikes as opposed to "do you ride solo most of the time"!

Relax Francis. If you don't like the way the forum operates, split and spare us the drama.
