and adequately supported. This will help prevent it from
falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to
the motorcycle.
1. Remove the seat (see page 17-17 for Rocket III and
Classic, see page 17-18 for Rocket III Touring).
2. Disconnect the battery, negative (black) lead first.
3. Slacken the cable locknut and release the adjuster at
the engine end to give maximum play in the cable.

Z Remove the cable from the motorcycle noting the
cable routing, particularly where it passes through
the steering area.
Note:
• To ensure the same route can be followed on
installation, tie a length of string to one end
while pulling the cable through from the other.
When installing the new cable, tie the string to
one end of the cable and use it to guide the
new cable into position.
