The end that that went into the engine case. Maybe they sent the wrong one. I went through JP cycles.

I'm sure you know what you're doing but the cable sleeve fitting didn't fit into the cam cover? Is that right? Most of these right side cables are a little loose in the cover.

I remove the kicker cover, flip it over and insert the rectangular end into the throw out arm tangs(pain in the ass) and then I turn the kicker cover right side up and into the position that it will attach to the engine and then I pull the cable outer sleeve till it won't come out anymore and then I slip the exposed part of the cable into the slotted receiver on the cam cover(another pain in the ass) and then position the kicker cover where it needs to be and install the kicker cover bolts.

I don't want to assume you haven't done one of these before so please don't be insulted, I'm not trying to be a dick. If you haven't done one of these there are a few easy tricks that make it easier or a few steps you might not be familiar with. I've done it so many times I can do it in my sleep. If you have a pic of the cable, I can tell you whether you have the right one.

anyone know if this frame was built for the KH or was it built for something else and adapted for the KH down the road?

Either way, its a way sick bike that is super unique. I always had a thing for Denvers work, he was a cool dude.

Thanks for the Info. I am not sure what was going on. Neither end of the cable would fit into the cam cover it was to big. I sent it back. Maybe Ill reorder it and see if there was some kind of mistake.

super bad ass

Well everything is torn down and sent off to paint, chrome, powder coating, and the tumbler.

Oh man I'm excited to see this one! I know zero about those engines, but I really dig the look of them. If you could let me know some info on it that'd be great? Can't wait to see more. Love the sissy bar and the mounts. Definitely gotta agree with Danny F. too that a frame really makes or breaks what a bike will look like. Keep them coming!

Wow is all I can say. The look of that bike is outstanding. You have done a super job. Thanks for sharing
