okay so my new forward controls arrived in the post from Zanotti's..
Now I need to get them fitted and I cant do it.. So.. I call Trivetts for a quote.. FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.!!!!!!!!!!!... Is it just me or is that takin the piss?
Anyone got any alternative ideas in Sydney?
The biggest part of the job is getting the old mid control shifter rod out. Many leave it there and just put a cover on it. If you leave the old shifter rod there the job is very easy and would cost you much less. 5 hours sounds right for the full job, without the shifter rod I'd say it would take less than 1 hour.
Mate,
Gotta admit you were spot on, very impressed with zanottis.
local stealers will charge anything up to five or six hundred.... if you are not comfortable doing the job yourself then look for a privte mechanic who works on Harleys.... you might just find his rates are half the price
Hey Galloway, do it yourself buddy, don't worry about removing the inner primary ect, I just left the shifter shaft in and wedged the mid lever behind a bolt on the case. When the day comes that I have to remove the primary cover for something else I'll finish it off then. There is also an alternative to removing the shifter shaft without removing the primary and that is to stick a hacksaw up the gap between the primary and case and cut it off and then pull the shaft out if ya keen.

Yes mate and thanks for the tip.. Also thanks for your help with the chrome.. Much apprechiated..
Lets hope the weather picks up soon so we can get the Thursday night runs going again..
Had mine fitted last week, 2010 FXD, $200.00. Job took about 11/2 hours.
Where did you get them done.. $200,00 is a good price
