I did it on two bikes and never had a problem. If it doesn't turn, you don't force it.

Ha good question about the shipping -- $4.00 into my mailbox. I bought it online on impulse from my recliner while watching Californication.
Seemed easier than going to the dealer, explaining what I wanted to the counterman, paying for it and then going back a week later to pick it up. Although that would have been a valid method I guess.

tap and die sets are so cheap that i'm surprised that everyone who has a bike or anything that they work on doesn't own at least a small cheapie set of taps and dies. it sure beats breaking off bolts that can be a real pain to remove. besides it allows you a bit more time getting to know your machine, if you take the time to clear the threads before installing parts. a tip about fork baffles; up till a couple of years ago, the fork baffles came stock on roadglides, and cost, i think 12 bucks at harley for the earlier roadglides. they're black rather than the chrome 30 dollar ones. a sharp parts counter guy will know this.
