1979 Harley Davidson FLH Shovelhead Rebuild Clutch Cable Install HD 1080p

I knew the clutch cable was worn out, dry and falling apart. I have also come to realize that the clutch perch was damaged and needed to be replaced as well. With a fresh cable and replacement perch, the install begins. Follow along and watch the process.

I was on a 78 like that in the middle of nowhere western Kansas and one of the spark plugs fouled out. Four qts of racing oil in the saddle bag. No spark plugs. I think that god led me to a weld shop that wasn't on my route because as soon as I walked in there was a sand blasting cabinet.

Dang! Can’t beat that. I always enjoy those types of situations. Great moments to reflect on and know that you’re watched over

It gets real dark down by the transmission where the clutch cablle connects. I had one fail in the middle of the day on my '84 FLH and it was so bright out I couldn't see much and a flashlight really didn't help. It would had been easier to do in the dark of the night with a flashlight. It's a simple job---if you can see.

That and there’s not a lot of room to work in there. Also that area is great for trapping old oil and a lot of grime which makes it even harder to see everything.
