| Hans (insert Die Hard smart-azz comment here - sorry, couldn't help myself  ) -
Your technical manual should tell you. Don't have one? Ya need one. I changed mine on my FLHR using my manual - was pretty easy. Sorry if this reply aggravates you - not my intention - but the manual will save you a whole lot more aggravation down the road.
For the record, do I hope someone with the FXDX manual answers your question fully.
Good luck!  |

| Pretty much the same on all models
Loosen adjuster at front down tube
Remove Primary derby cover (5 bolts on tc 3 on evo)
Loosen nut and adjusting screw (back off)
Drain trans, or, put derby cover back on and put bike up on two 2 x 4 and lean over on jiffy stand
Remove exhaust or at least drop it out of the way
Remove trans side cover 6 allen screws
Fluid will drain out so have a pan handy
Remove side cover from cable
remove clip from end of cable from the clutch activation arm
Remove c clip from handle bolt,
remove cable from lever
Reverse it all to put it together. | |
