Author Message   Themotoworld Posted on Saturday, July 25, 2015 - 05:30 pm:        Apparently the actuator of the push pull cable to the butterfly has broken. Kind of just flops around. Not being all that mechanically inclined and finically not able to pay the dealer their going rate. What is the best way to R&R the body. can the piece that goes into the body be fixed. Does anybody have a Tbody they want to sell or dso I have to mortgage my house to the dealer? Aand if I do get a new T-Body, do I have to reset the computer?   Froggy Posted on Saturday, July 25, 2015 - 06:21 pm:        Can you post a picture of the broken component?   Buellistic Posted on Sunday, July 26, 2015 - 10:54 am:        How about a picture from your PARTS BOOK that you should have for you YEAR/MODEL XB ... Just point out the PART ...   Froggy Posted on Sunday, July 26, 2015 - 11:22 am:        Yea the reason I asked for a picture is that I know Harley does not sell components of the throttle body, you basically have to buy the entire unit. Some parts can be fixed via aftermarket parts, so depending on what exactly is broken we can advise on the best economical repair.   Themotoworld Posted on Sunday, July 26, 2015 - 04:49 pm:        Thanks for getting back to me. #1, yes, I should have a parts book, #2 I have attached a picture. My friendly ($$$) dealer quoted me $586 for the T-Body part only. Thanks for the help you guys Paul   Buellistic Posted on Sunday, July 26, 2015 - 08:08 pm:        My FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL and PARTS BOOK show that piece you are indicating to be held on to the throttle shaft by a "NUT" !!! You will have to take the throttle body off to put a "NUT" on the shaft ...   Jim2 Posted on Sunday, July 26, 2015 - 08:31 pm:        "My friendly ($$$) dealer quoted me $586 for the T-Body part only" Yikes! . This was the closest I could find to a rape emoticon.   Themotoworld Posted on Monday, July 27, 2015 - 12:31 pm:        Buellistic, thank you. And again, you're absolutely right, I need the manual and parts book. But, considering I don't have either, Can you help me save time and frustration with some tips on R&R the T-Body? PLease...thanks   Themotoworld Posted on Saturday, August 01, 2015 - 02:10 pm:        This is the part that broke. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? I'm also hoping the engine didn't swallow the broken bit! Thanks for help Paul
