smitty901

PN 56425-02 Fits 96 to 07 Models
Reason for changing them,30,000 miles on stock ones dirty hands and time had made them sticky and worn.
Cost 53 dollars from dealer
Time to install about 45 minutes with coffee
Skill level caveman
Tools Number 27 Torx and 25 Torx
2 3/8 open end wrench (To adjust cables)
You may need some goo remover
Little oil for cables
The Hd instruction cover it all well. You should read up on throttle cable adjustment if you are not already up on that.
Make sure you clean off any old glue or new ones may not slide on well. New ones require no glue.
Do NOT lose small brass barrels for the Throttle cable ends, they are hard to find when they hit the floor.
Cover fuel tank so you do not mark it up.
This is a good time to lube up Throttle cables.
If you mark bars were housing line up it will be much easier to get them right back were they were. So of us get use to were controls are and do not like them moved
If you have never done this type work take your time make sure you do not force anything and do not pinch cables you will have no problems with it.

More than likely you got it all back together but I would replace that ferrel. It looks stretched and will leave you stranded at the worst opportunity.

Thanks for posting you upgrade pictures. I plan on joining the "Aileron Club!" but first I'm only about 600 miles away from my 10'000 mile sevice and soon I'll need to replace my rear tire(hopefully the front one will make it throught the summer). More needs than funds rifgt now. Hopefully I'll be able to find a better price on the tire than the $168 plus $89 labor from the my H D dealer.

Math on tires is basicly 2 to 2 1/2 times as many miles on a front as the rear
rear should run around 200 installed.
Air presure is number one reason for early tier wear.

TBW is a good thing IMO pretty sure my next bike will have it.
It was time to replace the grips they were getting a bit worn.
So far I like these we see how they feel when I leave Sinday.
