Default RE: Shift Linkage
I installed HD'sround shift linkage (#33814-98A) over the weekend. What adifference! My shifter feels firmer and has less travel. It looksmuch better than the OE part, too.I can move the heim joints by hand, but they're snug. Someone told methey'll loosen over time.

definitely use blue loctite on the linkage bolts!
I used JB Weld and then wrapped evrything with duct tape. I think it will hold. [sm=biker.gif]

I got one of those high dollar ones for Christmas. It says Harley Davidson on it. I didn't notice any difference, sept I feel better, cause I'm not worried bout it braken.
