Hi everyone
I thought it best to join the forum as I have just bought a brand new Sportster xl 883, well back in Febuary.
I have had great fun riding it but feel it could do with a set of ape hangers, I have looked at were the clutch cable goes into the engine and can not see how to take it out to put a longer cable in.
I know this is my first post but can anyone help, a picture would be very useful.  |

The clutch cable goes into the primary....not the engine.
It threads into the case.
The primary cover needs to come off and the cable unattaches inside there.
A manual helps greately for things like that, as well as provides you with specs for torque and adjustment. All of which you'll need to reassemble it.
