I just removed my V&H long shots to install my new Jack Pot mufflers using my buddys stock headers (2000 elec classic) and the tranny bracket is not the stock one.It is flat with a hole in the center of the plate.Is there anyway this plate will work?And if i need to install the stock bracket(which i don't have)do i need to drain the tranny oil?Thanks and PS if i need 1 anyone have one?Mario

 

You can pick up a stock bracket at a dealer. Don't have to drain tranny oil.

 

No, you don't need to drain the transmission. If you need a different bracket it's one of the few inexpensive parts available from Harley.

 

It looks like i need to remove the motor oil filler spout to get to the 1 bolt and on the other side i need to remove the clutch cable that goes into the tranny to get to the other bolt.Can i pull the cable out that goes into the tranny or will i need to remove the tranny cover?And if i need to remove the cover off to get to the 1 bolt(no need to drain oil)?Also any chance i can reuse the gaskets,and will i need to add some silicone to them?Just came off a shovelhead this tc stuff is all new to me.Thanks guys.

 

You need to pull the tranny cover to remove the clutch cable. If you leave the bike on the side stand and run the tires up on a 2X4 you will not loose much oil just a few drops. If you clean the gasket really good and put some RVT on it you will be fine. You might see if a heavy duty hose clamp will work at the tranny mouint. Supertrapps replace the stock bracket with a hose clamp. they do retain the bracket that actually mounts to the tranny tho and just run a clamp around the exhuast pipe and the bracket.

 

I have the clamp that is on the exhaust pipe i just don't have the stock bracket that bolts onto the tranny.Good to know about putting the tires on 2x4 to not have to drain the oil.BTW happen to have a bracket kicking around LOL Thanks

 

did you have to pull the oil filler spout or just take those few bolts off. Got the same problem.

 

I also am changing to a 2-1 on my 06 road king and I need to remove the bolts you guys are talking about I already removed the oils spout filler tube but my clutch cable is in the way!! Can I just remove the clutch cover without changing the clutch adjustment take the bolt out get the bracket off and replace the clutch cover?? Will it be just that easy or when I move the clutch cover will I screw up my clutch cable release mechanism?? Any knowledge on this would be helpful thank you!!

 

Get a service manual. If u mess something up you can fix it and congrats on the 10 year old resurrection.

 

Sounds like to much b/s for me. I would fabricate something to make it work. Can't hoe many times i have fabricated something for a bike or car I guess people don't do that anymore.
