The instructions that came with my kit said to use the friction shoe from the old unit, and to slip it onto the point of the adjuster screw ... There was no adjuster screw, and the old one didn't fit. The owners manual implies that models w/ cruise don't have em, and the current crop of Ultras don't have em. So, there ya go ... -- Chilly BS#226

The only reason I can see for sealing the hole is maybe to not squirt some water up into the housing while washing the bike (damn unlikely). -- Wayne AH52 The road goes on forever

I have the parts book for that year, so I just looked it up. Apparently, in '98, the FLHR has the transmission pickup (just like yours), while both the FLHTs and FLTRs still use the old mechanical unit. The parts book also has the cruise control unit in there and the code beside it says it is only for the FLHTCUI model. -- Home page: http://xidos.ca |
