Just be patient and take your time. If you can't figure it out, wait until you have someone who can help you.

Messing with the controls can be very dangerous if you aren't sure of what you are doing. The clutch cable is the trickiest as you have to kind of roll it out of its cradle once unbolted.
You also have little tabs that need to line up upon reinstall of the brake light and or clutch saftey switch right at the perches.

They are easy to install but I can see where it would be confusing if you have never done something like this before.

Good Luck [up]

I also would love to know how to properly do this as I see my self possibly installing them wrong or causing damage... A write up with pics would be awesome


Oh and free bump!

Don't know what year you have, but there's a couple of good pages in the maintenance manual.
Pages 2-66 and 2-67 in the 2005 Firebolt maint manual
It's online and can be downloded. Just follow the link above for "Buell Service Manuals"
