99 Road King shifter problems
I have a problem with my shifter where it goes down down to the shaft that goes to the transmission.
When I down shift, it wants to hang in between gears and sometimes will not go into a lower gear at all.
Is there an inexpensive way to fix this or will I just have to bite the bullet and pay the shop rate to have it repaired?

Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. A couple of things come to mind. One is that the various pivots in the linkage may have dried up and be sticking, so you may be able to lubricate them and get things working again. If when you move the lever it stays there and makes no attempt to return, the return spring inside the trans may have broken. That is not so easy to replace, which for some of us is indeed a trip to a local shop.
