I don't think her body will be moving back.......but maybe she'll be able to have a slight bend at the elbows. As it is now, she's stretched all the way out and actually leaned forward just a bit......and she's got a Corbin close reach seat on there.

I'll be happy for her if she can just get a little slack in her arms.

Don't those go up 2" also?? If so, then you would need a longer clutch cable..

To GMURDOCK. You have to turn the adjusting nut and bolt all the way down so you will have slack in the cable. Then you re-route it under the brace it is on and zip tie it. The 09 bikes have a single top clamp and you re-use all of that also. The only thing i had to change was the bars and i went with OEM Harley because i like Stainless steel, also its much stronger than cold or hot rolled steel pipe. You get what you pay for. This will take you four or five hours if you think each step through befor you act.

Peppa1 - do you have the sweepers? If so, how do you like them (505 or 502) and did you use stock cables? Any pics?

I just spent two half-days installing my Khrome Werks sweepers +2 on my 08 FLHX. By re-routing the clutch cable, you can avoid changing it. It saves a lot of hassle. Changing the clutch cable requires removing the front and rear exhaust headers (and replacing gaskets), draining the gearbox, and removing the clutch release cover on the tranny and replacing all gaskets.

It would have only taken 5 - 6 hours if I didn't lose the Jesus clip on the clutch lever (you know, "Jesus, where did that thing fly off to?").

By the way, get a workshop manual. You can try to do it without it (BertK and other have excellent guides), but at some point you'll get stuck. Well, at least I did...

I have the Khrome Werks +2 Sweepers and love them. The only thing you'll need is a +3 or +4 clutch cable (depending on brand you get).
