It happed again! Second time since '05. Cheap junk!!
The ball and socket end of the shifter linkage came apart at the tranny end. Luckily, this happened as I was leaving the neighborhood. Stopped, switched hands on the clutch, leaned down and shifted into first and slowly rode home. Talk about suicide shift!!
Went to the HD Dealership to get another end. Don't sell just the ends! OK, then how about the stock shifter linkage. They are out of the shifter linkage assy for the Touring bikes.
"OK, how about a shifter rod assy for any model?"
"Might not fit your bike. If you buy one and it doesn't fit, you can not return it."
"That's OK, I just want the END off it."
"We have one for a Softail."
"I'll take it."
"That will be $21.64, and like I said, it is not returnable."
Talk about customer service!!
I think I am gonna swap out the ball and socket end for another swivel end like on the front. Well the bike is back to operating anyway!!
TQ
