Nice and relaxing, straightforward instruction. My blood pressure did not spike while watching video. Sunday morning is going well and I thank you for calmly providing instruction that I will put to good use. Fantastic. Thank you. God bless.

Outstanding video... Especially showing the proper routing of the cable behind the crash bar and through the fairing.

Thank you so much for clear, concise instruction and the time and effort you took to make this video. My friend and I just finished up a clutch cable install on my newly purchased 2011 road glide. It was very rewarding to work on my own bike.

Doing set of 16inch bars on my 07 Electra glide. These videos have helped so much! Even ordered one of the awesome gorilla grabbers!

nice! Thank you for the video! My 2-piece clutch cable started pulling fluid and causing small drip on my 19 FXLR and figured it was time to change the cable and go to a single piece. Video is just what I was looking for! Greetings from N. Austin!

one of the best cable installation videos ive seen. thanks for the help.

Is very simple to do it if you know what you doing, love it!

You guys have the best how to videos out there! I’m installing my Hill Country 12” apes on my Road King this weekend. I’ll let you know how it goes. 👍🇺🇸

Great video, I bought a SG that the clutch was way out of adjustment and the cable was to far out on slack. I adjusted the clutch and used Harley's recommended 1/2 turn back off and it's now perfect.

The guys from Hill Country are AWESOME!!! If you are putting taller bars on they will tell you what all you need, you order the parts which their prices are great and our order was there the next day!!!!! Unbelievable service will buy from them ALL THE TIME from here on out!!

4 years later - your video solved my problem! thank you

Thanks for sharing! Did this job as the video instructed and everything went good.

Thanks for the video . Getting ready to replace clutch on my Softail Deuce !

Thanks for a well-explained example of how to install a clutch cable.

I own an aftermarket shop....you did a fine job

Thanks(again) for the video. I had to adjust my clutch and last time I did it was 1972 on a 51 Hydra Glide!

Awesome video nice to meet you take your time and explain and probably one of the first guys I’ve actually seen cover a customers motorcycle actually shows he cares about what he’s working on awesome

Great, informative video. Thanks for posting this.

Good video, I needed this-thanks.

That’s was a well done DIY video! Thank you.

Your videos are great! Thank you!

that tank cover is dope!

You are my hero brother, I spent 5 hours farting around with an allen wrench. In frustration, found this video. Loosened the exhaust pipes (note: take the heat shields off first) and 5 minutes later. . . You have been liked, watched later, subscribed and hat tipped! Thank you again!

I love your vids, Right to the point, and great filmwork. I rode from 1976 [ brand new FX Superglide ] until a near fatal crash in 1995. I'm getting back in the saddle at 62 years old after just buying an old '94 FXST which i'm turning into a basic bobber. i've only ever wrenched on Shovels so your videos are invaluable to an ol graybeard like myself. Thank You much, Respect from East Coast Canada.

Great video! This video gave me the confidence to replace my clutch cable on my 2007 HD Ultra Classic 96 cu..... One word of advice, get an OEM cable and not an aftermarket. I made the mistake of buying an aftermarket cable only to find out it was the wrong cable for my bike. Wasted a lot of time but, learned a lot. Bought the OEM cable and everything came together as it was meant to be. :). Also, in my case I had to remove the footrest to get the clearance I needed to get the bottom two bolts in.

That was a huge help, thank you.

You the man. Thanks for this bro

Great video. With the exception of how to adjust the clutch. He just hooked it up when he pulled the derby cover to show where the adjustment is to be made. Didn't get into the mechanics of how to properly adjust the clutch by backing off the nut, adjusting the allen bolt first, then locking it down. That is a very important step. Especially if you don't know how to do it. I adjust every oil change.

Great video. Thank you

Thank you for the video 👌👏

EXCELLENT! Best tutorial I've seen. Thank you.

Just finished and this tutorial was great. Thanks for doing this video, I''m subscrbing!

Great video the detail.

Thank you for saving me so much time without removing the whole exhaust!!

Man, you made that look super easy, so I think my cable is stretched and can’t adjust it from inside the primary case or on the cable adjustment, so looks like I will be digging into this job sometime this week. Ugh!! Thank you for doing this video though, great job!

Awesome dude..

Great video,, 👍👍👍👍👍

Perfect subbed thx

Great Great Video A1 Job man. !!! Off to the Garage

Thanks for vid! Different workflow than the factory manual (2002 Road King) but all good. Btw, HD cable is way better than the aftermarket that broke at the eyelet.

Nice job on the video. I just subscribed. Keepin it wyte tight and ready to ryde...

Thanks!

Thank you...👍

Thanks for the how to video may God Almighty continue to bless you and your family.

Great video, thank you! You didn't tell the torque setting for the cover bolts.

i was wondering how the clutch was actuated from the opposite side of the bike and now i see how!!

Great video Same clutch set up for 2020 Road Glide CVO Doing a bigger handlebar ???

How many km do clutch cables need to be replaced after running? I watched the video, made likes, subscriptions and notifications.

Wow, Really helpful with all the detailed explanation, closeup video, and tips on common pitfalls. Thank you! I had a couple of thoughts while I watched that might just add a small contribution to a great video: 1. Would it make sense to say "Drain the transmission oil" instead of "Drain the oil"? You might be surprised at the number of people who don't know that the transmission oil is separate from the motor oil on big twins. 2. With the cable torque at only 3 lbs/ft at the transmission cover, would a drop or two of blue Locktite on the (clean) threads act as both a thread locker and a sealant? 3. If you attach a cut up wire coat hanger to the lever end (eyelet) of the old cable when you pull it through the fairing, could we possibly attach the new cable to the end of the wire and guide it back through the fairing without taking the front of the fairing off? Loved the exhaust pipe tip! I hate taking off all the plumbing! Thanks.

Texas Hill Country? Thanks for the information.

WHY DIDNT YOU SHOW THE ENTIRE CABLLE ROUTING??? The service manual doesn't even give the greatest instructions, and OF COURSE it's one of the instructions that DOESN"T HAVE A PICTURE EITHER........ WHY is it sooooo hard to find a clutch cable installation video for HD Touring bikes with FULL INSTRUCTIONS?????? Other than that 1 thing, I LOVE YOU VIDEOS!!!!!!! I just haven't been able to ride my ultra classic for going on 2 months due to an accident. But I have been spending COUNTLESS HOURS getting my baby BACK ON THE ROAD, and your videos have been a mainstay on my feed!!!

Thank you for the video is their a certain rout for cable

Excellent videos. I purchased 14" kit last year. They are perfect, the only problem iv had is my clutch cable began to leak , about 3000 miles. Iv removed my cover and found the inner casing had been worn thru by the cable. Any ideas what might of happen (or I did wrong? Thanks for all your help. Choice

I have a 2013 street glide with the same bars, what is the clutch cable length on that? very helpful video

If I seen this video before I dropped my bike off, I would’ve done my bar swap by myself.

Is the 96 flhr road king done same way thanks its a good video

Had to come back and find this video, with the 2021 Touring models out now is the process still and cable connections still the same ? For 14in apes on a 2021 Road Glide would you use +6 or +8?

What about backing Allen screw out a 1/2-3/4 turn ?

I'm trying to replace just he upper cable clutch line. Is it possible that I can call you guys to ask a few question before I replace the cable?

After seeing your video i would be tempted to change my 14" for 16" bars, do you think i need to change cables ? thx

I know this video is 5 years old but I used it to replace my cable this weekend. The problem I’m having now is the clutch doesn’t fully disengage when lever is pulled. I’ve gone through adjusting cable and primary screw 20x and it’s always the same. Any thoughts as to why?

I have a HD 2003 Softail Classic FLSTC. Does it matter what gear my bike is in when I'm doing a clutch adjustment?

Which direction would you adjust the clutch at the primary if problems with clutch creep. I have backed out the adjuster screw 1/2 and 3/4 turns according to my service manual and still having creep issues

Hi, can I ask if you changed the gaskets when you removed the covers on both clutch and clutch adjustment plate if that needs removing?

It is primary cover and it doesn't have much oil so no need to change gasket if it is not soaked with oil.

When adjusting your clutch how come you don't back it off a half a turn?

I noticed you adjusted the push rod all the way in, did you miss a step or have clutch slip issues? I always back off the push rod 1/2 to full turn off on all my bikes, ive never seen one not slip from turning it all the way in, even with the scorpion race clutch set up.

I got clutch cable for my 2000 Harley sportster xl1200 said was 52 3/4 inches even tho I kept measuring 55 old cable on bike but Harley n Google said otherwise got new cable the 52 3/4 it's shorter than original so we still got it to fit but had to run it above foot pedal instead under all connected but when try to put in 1st it makes crazy sound from the circle primary cover we have adjusted few times n still same issue what did we might have done wrong

does that work for my 2021 road glide i am very interested to know

Hi can you help, after adjusting my clutch cable, soon i ride my bike few miles my clutch lever starts to get all wobbly lots of slack and cant change gear what can it be.

I installed the clutch cable on my 06 night train. Made sure the cable was pushed all the way through. It would not go all the way back. Installed the housing. Put everything back together. Adjusted the cable. Clutch will not release. The bike will not roll with the clutch handle squeezed. What did I do wrong?

Did you add fluid

I an having a problem with mine when I extended it out in the housing I had no slack for the line to fit in the grip I loosened up the nut in the middle of the line but still am getting no extra slack can someone help me please

Why didn’t you back out the clutch adjust screw 1/2 to 3/4 turn?

Would this all be the same for my 2010 Harley FLSTN Deluxe? I’ve got most of the parts needed to dow my 18” ape hanger swap.

Ok quick question. I just did a bar swap also and replaced the clutch cable. I have no issues getting it into neutral or shifting gears but I am noticing that when i put it into 1st from neutral Im getting a bit of a lunge forward. Is this an issue with the actual cable adjustment or do i need to pull the primary and make the adjustment there?

+DT Harley man If you really think about, the clutch cable adjuster is ultimately going to get it closer until the lever is adjusted where you like it. I get it tighter so I have more adjustment from my cable adjuster. Just the way I have preferred to do it for years.

@@HillCountryCustomCycles So I just ordered a new cable from you guys because with my current cable if I back out the adjuster at the clutch pack 1/2 to 3/4 turn I still have so much slack that the cable adjuster runs out of threads and there is still excessive slack at the lever. By turning the adjuster all the way in, theoretically it should take up some of that slack and give me more adjustment at the cable right?? Have any of your customers reported any clutch issues from you running the adjuster all the way in and then using the cable adjuster to fine tune?? I appreciate any info you can provide.

As mentioned in the video the hardest part was getting the exhaust out of your way in this video he's working on a fairly new bike, looks much harder on an older bike trying to loosing up older and rusted exhaust nuts. Breaking one can be costly . Think I'll skip this and pay a pro to change my cable. But a good video all in all.

The clutch cable will not come out all the way. I have the adjuster nut adjusted all the way out and when I put the transmission cover back on the bike it feels like something is resisting and not letting the cable come all the way out. But with the transmission cover off the bike I have full range of motion on the clutch cable.. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
