Thanks to all for the replies, will be giving it a go tommorow, of course on my mates fatboy first so my attempt will be a lot easier, it's his turn anyway as we did my pipes first so he could learn!. It's great learning to do all this stuff yourself, we are both ex-Navy aircraft technicians so we have a bit of nouse between us, and besides our dealer/service deptis 2 hrs north.

Thanks again.

Replaced mine tonight, took maybe thirty minutes, that compressed air trick works great for the left grib, gave me time to work more slowly on the throttle side. Key thing on the throttle side is getting enough room under the housing. And take your time!!

 

This may be a dumb question, but where do you put the cardboard?

 

Wedge a piece of cardboard behind the brake lever. Pull the lever in a little bit and you'll see a gap on the back side of the lever. Basically the cardboard will keep the lever from going all the way back into the resting position (and keep the lever away from the brake light switch)

Hope that makes sense in writing.....It will when you see it in person.

Cheers,
