As I wrote before this is a great upgrade over stock shifting linkage ,only have 17,000 miles on my 2004 HD FATBOY ,which ii changed out camplate ,tensioners ,oil pump all Screaming Eagle and cams at 12,00 miles as a preventative ,the cheezy ends on stock linkage were already starting to stretch out holes securing the ball SO AGAIN THANK YOU FOR POINTING THIS POTENTIAL TRIP DISASTER
