go get a doz you got a busy evening pulling her apart,be interesting to see what it is.
i'm guessing a bent selector fork and a stuffed dog pawl,
stuffed pawl causing fork to bend and jam.
just a guess.

Hehe yes. In fact, with a Harley torque curve, the fact it's stuck in top gear doesn't seem a terrible disadvantage

I did an old iron sportster gearbox the other day, they are good to work on, coz when you pull off the trap door the compleat gear clusters and camplate come out atached to the trap door, the 96 sporty is probley simmler.
