I will get a pic up ASAP.
And it was the after market cable that was to long in my case on both my Street glides??
I would have thought the inner cable would have been a standard length.

I know my ride is pretty finiky sometimes when it comes to setting the clutch.
It was opened 4000 miles ago for the new cable but nothing recent
