My stock Harley shift linkage failed on a road trip years ago. I live in St. Louis and the failure occurred somewhere in Colorado. I had some tools and zip ties with me but my riding buddy had a more complete set. We zip tied the linkage together and I then made it home. No more HD linkages for me!
I have since purchased a tool kit and replacement shifter from the Law Abiding Biker store for two later Harley’s and have not had a failure in over 50,000 road miles. Thanks to the Law Abiding Biker staff for their help!
