no i have not tacken the cable off. i thuoght it would come with it. i have hit it with the rubber malet but no luck yet. i thank you all for all the help so far.

 

thanks for the info and also for the pics. they are a lot of help

 

you cant just ask for help and then not tell us what the problem was. this is how we feed off one another.

 

i am sorry, if i wasnt a dumb butt and took off the clutch cable from the get go i wouldnt have had any problems. i just thought it would come off with it. in reality what it was doing was it still had the clutch engaged and was holding it on. i am now going to try to correct the clutch slipping when i get on it hard by getting some stiffer clutch springs from ron woods. i thank everybody once again for all the help.
