Please read instructions fully prior to installing the H/D CJ Clutch Linkage Kit (16919.30).
The linkage kit has been designed to be a no drill application for ease of installation. Please
read shop manual for proper pedal adjustment after installing this kit.
Note: All but one bearing ends are Teflon lined. These ends require no lubrication and should be hard
to rotate by hand. This tight fit helps to keep dirt and debris out of the bearing race (self cleaning).
