I was installing the OBX fatboy shift ****, and the instructions says:
"if needed, raise the shift boot collar until it is flush with the bottom of the shift ****"

Well, I lift that chrome ring up... and it falls right back down. Gravity hasn't been repealed yet last time I checked. So what's going on?

 

Just off the top of my head, there should probably be a threaded nut UNDER that collar that keeps it in place.

Gravity sucks...

 

I just ordered my fat boy yesterday on ebay (25.00 w/shipping)....i figured you just screw the old one off, and screw the new one ON......it's not that easy?

 

*Bump.* :-P

 

Well, I don't know- if you just unscrew the old one and screw on the new one, there will be a nasty gap between the top of the boot and the bottom of the new shift ****.

How did other people take care of this problem?

 

How about yourself? and hows the feel of it btw?
were u able to raise the cover up to cover the gap?

 

There is a friction ring of some sort around the shift lever that holds the chrome ring and boot up against the shift ****. feel throught the boot till you find that and wiggle it up until it is flush against the shiftknob. I know this cause my wife pushes the chrome ring down everytime she drives my car and I have to keep pulling that thing back to where it is supposed to be. I know this is kinda vague but it is the best way I can think to explain it.

Hope this helped.

 

Awesome, thanks roy!
