Default Problem with Kuryakyn Forward Controls

I posted this in the Dyna forum, but I thought it should here too.


I just received my new forward controls in the mail - ordered from the Ebay store Eastern Performance Cycles. Anyway, I really need to be studying for some final exams I have coming around the corner, but who wants to wait when they have a new toy. So I ran down to the garage and started my instal. After basically completing the entire install, I got on the bike to determine if the liked the angle of the shift peg. I stepped on the peg and the tranmission downshifted, but when I released the shifter it didn't come back up. It appears that the shift lever is too tight, and the transmission can't pull the shifter back into position after you shift. I removed the forward control assembly from the bike and tried to work the shift lever back and forth, and even rotated it around several time to see if I could loosen up the action, but it hasn't changed at all. Did any of you guys have a similar problem, and if so how did you fix it. I may be able to add some lubricant, but it doesn't appear to be something you can disassemble. Any ideas would be great - thanks in advance.
