    Just had to change the throttle cable on my 2011 fat Bob on the old fatty about a hour on the fat Bob a day you have to unplug half the bike remove the tank and what's with these cir clips so small you are flat out even seeing them it's all about taking your bike to your dealer for what use to be I will fix it it's just a cable finding more and more ways to take your money working on your bike was what we all did and helped you understand it now all you are is just a bank account to them was looking at a new breakout the other day but noway if this is what they think of guys that have supported the brand for over forty years they can stick it where the sun don't shine.

    Christ, I ran out of breath trying to read this. Full stops would help a little but I think the jist of what you're saying is you changed the throttle cable.

    Sorry mate.Didnt know had to pass a english test.But yes I have just changed a cable,but the guts of it was about how the newer bikes are getting harder and harder to work on so these days more and more rides have to get even the smallest Jobs done by a dealership.

    Agree 100%. Now I get your jist. Car dealerships are the same.
