[@donaldfulmer7804]

Something about a video with a guy that DONT love to hear himself talk is the greatest, thank u sir!

It's actually in Russian they just edited out the Russian rambling. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHablZeNn8iKo5I

Really nicely done. One of the best wrenching tutorials I have ever seen on YT.

[@garage4288]

Thank you. :)

[@markwillemain386]

Thanks buddy six years later and you’re still helping people great video

[@DavidGuthrie-wm9ip]

You make it all look so easy on KZbin

[@yoshit9819]

Thank you. Did it in my sons 01 fatboy. I did get fuel everywhere. The drain hose I attached came loose. All good though

[@dougfresh1341]

The sort of English version!... I did understand the expletive. LOL. THANKS again.

I have a 2010 street bob. Is 31.5 the correct length for my bike?

[@garage4288]

I did some fast research and find out that 30 3/4 inch is right cable length (for standard handlebars) HD part nro is: 56356-96.

thanks

[@davidurena81]

One constructive critique for next time is to mark the original position of your switch housing and throttle grip with tape. Nice job 👍🏽 nonetheless 👏🏽👏🏽

[@321scooper]

yeah, getting the wires back on the throttle grip can be a pain in the rear, that's for sure. Would have liked to have seen you adjusting the two cables after installation, too! Otherwise, nice video.

[@garage4288]

I feel like an ass... I did it backwards! It's way more easier to assemble those cables FIRST on the throttle grip.

Hi my 05 xl883 has a spring on the idle cable. Does it go between cable holder and cable or between cable holder and carb?

[@territoryfilms]

I’d say it goes between cable and cable holder… but you should ask someone who has better information about that than me. Ride safe!

[@patricia2645]

@@territoryfilms thanks! Im pretty sure you are right. They sent me one too short anyway. Guess it wasn't in the cards for a Memorial day poker run. Party at my house! Love the music...Stevie Ray Vaughn? George Thorogood?

[@ragnarlothbrook7450]

im fitting some 16" apes to me sporty 883, what size clutch and throttle cable do you think ill be needing?

[@garage4288]

Sorry for a late answer... I think you can find the products here: www.jpcycles.com/harley-cable-kits

[@richarddangler2416]

So was your throttle not snapping back because your cable was bad? Im having the same issue i pull it wide open and it stays wide open no snapback.

[@davidpalmer8655]

I had the same problem with my '86 FXRD. Come to find out that my idle cable was broken.

[@bobsmith4121]

So the throttle cables are not retained by anything in the switch/throttle housing?

[@garage4288]

Only thing keeping them at place are those guide sleeves that snaps-on to bottom of housing. Cables go thru them.

[@bobpx]

yes there is a c-clip on each cable end going in to the housing. that is what you're pulling and pushing against. nobody says anything about this clip like it is some big harley insider secret.

[@daveandrews6670]

Hey Thanks man, dam looks fiddly and f---en pain in the ass. Mine snapped when I opened it up. I think it's the throttle one, the outer cable. So only one cable is attached, the idle I reakon. At least I no how to go about bit now. Subed cheers from Australia.

[@bendaves77]

You're not working on something if you're not having some four letter words fly out of your mouth.. or atleast that's how I was taught

[@terryle5087]

Easy to pull out my ass! Those little retainer clips in the housing are a pain.. Update: lube and a good yank

[@sgarra6490]

Good video that would be better without the annoying music and closed caption read along.
