    Thanks for being on point RFN! Your feedback helped me a lot. I had no idea that the logo was upside down.

    Great tutorial! You're an excellent instructor. Laughed at the "we're gonna have to have a talk" comment. Love the orange horn cover. I agree, I could never have let that logo on upside down.

    Their is a small link from the trans that makes it easier and a move direct shift as well as a better find neutral n shift u cant tell but it isnt as the twin cams the m8 has a up and then toward the front i think maybe krauss like a jay shape link from trans to what you just put on

    Bar and shield is upside down. Also, front heim joint is positioned on wrong side of the (chrome) shift linkage arm.

    After switching the ends on the new linkage did you check the length with the OEM linkage?

      Yup but I corrected it. The human side kicked in but then I became Ai again.😂

    According to the instructions, you did not install it correctly. Where did you get the washers? This is what it comes with:
    1
    Shifter rod lever cover, polished
    Shifter rod lever cover, gloss black
    33890-99A
    34022-08
    2
    Self-aligning rod ends (2)
    33899-08

    Locknuts (2)
    7326
    4
    Acorn nut
    7904
    5
    Cap screw (2)
    4192
    6
    Shifter rod
    Not Sold Separately
    7
    Spacer (1999 FLSTS models, 2000.
    What you are calling the thick washer is a ''SPACER'' and goes on the rear linkage, not the front and at the front, no washers just the acorn nut. If you bought this used and did not receive the instructions, you can go to Harley parts, select your bike, go to PARTS, then go to FOOT CONTROLS, then to DETAILS and then you will see the installation and parts list. Or Google Part Number: 33760-09 then find it on Harleys site. The cover you may see listed, you do not use.

      Thanks for the detailed info but I purchased this brand new and followed it to the letter. The thick washer or spacer goes exactly where I placed it which is in the front of the ball before driving it through the hole. Then the thin washer goes non followed by the nut.
