    Hans (insert Die Hard smart-azz comment here - sorry, couldn't help myself:roflmao: ) -

    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! :cheers:

    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.
