I bought new chrome clutch and brake levers for my 08 ultra. Before I attempt to install myself I thought I would ask the forum on any advice or tips before I get into trouble.

Replacing brake and clutch levers?
- Message
Have you got a HD Factory Survice Manual or did the levers come with some good instructions?
The clutch side is a piece of cake.
Just collapse the cable adjuster first so you have more play. And don't
lose the snap ring when you take it off unless they give you a new one
in the kit. While you have all that going on, you might want to
consider adjusting the clutch anyway.
On the brake side, make sure you follow the book with the spacer as directed.
Otherwise you may be fiddling around trying to get the light to work
properly!
Thanks for the info. I haven't bought the service manual yet...
So far this forum has been more helpful than the manual would be.
Besides I get to buy more goodies like control levers instead of the manual. Just kidding..."kind of"
I will eventually get a manual, but seriously you guy's on this forum
are very helpful. I love coming to this site and reading about the
various posts. Always courteous and knowledgeable information to be
found. NO DRAMA like on other sites.
Regarding my lever install. It seems pretty easy to do, I was most concerned about the front brake lever and if a spring might fly out at me or something fall out that I don't see prior to removing snap ring and bolt.
If your just changing the levers its a cake walk just be easy on the brake side so as not to break the switch
And you need a real small pair of snap ring pliers for the clutch side
collapse the cable all the way when you start on the clutch
Thanks all,
The install was easy and only took a short while to do.
I ordered my manual through Gary as well. However, I will probably
still rely on this forum more than I will the manual. Thanks for all
the help everyone.
I am facing a lot of problem with my clutch. Now i will be able to fix this problem. Thanks for this thread buddy...
This is a very useful thread. Thanks dude... Now i can fix my own motorcycle...
