    You’ll need to see what the Mid-West part number is on it. From what I’ve read the part number should be one of the following:

    201-57 Cast
    201-58 Black
    201-59 Chrome

    These numbers are for the Ultima left side drive transmissions for 96-99 Softail application.

    I spoke with Jeri’s back in ’05. They appeared to have a good product and were helpful on the phone.

    Also, do yourself a big favor and avoid the cheap Taiwan knock offs. I know it’s hard to resist the price but those things are garbage and UNSAFE!!! Paughco makes some good front ends that actually work.

    Get a gasket for an 89-93 FXST. While you have the outer primary off clean all of the belt and clutch dust out of the inner and outer covers. Clean out the jackshaft bushing on the outer primary and clean the end of the jackshaft. Add a few drops of assembly lube to the bushing before installing making sure not to drip any on the belt. If the primary bolt holes are gummed up with loctite and dirt you may want to run a tap thru them or at least give them a good blast of brake cleaner. Clean the threads on the bolts and add a few drops of blue loctite to each. Torque to 108-118 in lbs or 8.5-9.5 ft lbs. Tighten from the center out using a star or criss cross pattern. If the jackshaft or starter hangs up after you’ve installed the outer crack the bolts loose just a tad and tap the primary up by the jackshaft a few times with a deadblow hammer while cranking the bike over. This will align the jackshaft. If everything sounds good retorque the bolts. You’re off and running.

    I came across an exhaust end cap if you still need one.

    I picked up a brake tee clamp so if the JP Cycle clamp doesn’t work out let me know. I dropped it off with VENMC the Administrator.

    The modules came from Cadent Technologies Inc. I don’t have the part number at the moment but may be able to dig it up. Cadent is currently backordered 4-6 weeks on the Smart Flash Module. They run about $50.

    Also, if you are still running the stock turn signals check the sockets for shorts.

    Definetely not Dennis Kirk. The clamps were made at a local machine shop for Vengeance. They’re not making bike parts anymore but I can see if they have any Vengeance NOS parts.

    It’s an Arlen Ness Radius control. Check out item #200530410018 on ebay. From what I’ve read Arlen uses a 3/4″ plunger for his dual disc master cylinders and a 5/8″ for single. You’ll need to disassemble yours to see which it is. Keep in mind that since these were made overseas the plunger and seals may be slightly different than HD so you may need to go thru Ness for a rebuild kit. If a stock replacement works Drag Specialties should have the kits in stock. Not bad for a Fresh Boarder, huh?

    The backfiring during deceleration is usually from an exhaust leak. Replace your exhaust gaskets and tighten the exhaust stud nuts from time to time.
