2000 Ultra Classic - clutch cable leak

 Hi,

 I just put fresh fluids in the bike. Now I have found a leak in my
clutch cable.

It looks like it is coming out from underneath of a boot where the
upper and lower clutch cables join at the forward portion of the
motorcycle.

Any ideas?

Thanks
-Jason

found it.
After all, a bike with leaky cables from both the upper AND lower clutch
cable boots that are dripping fluids,(at the foward portion no less!) is
a sign that you attempted a repair!

Also, check for leaks in your battery cables.

 I'm terribly sorry.  I thought I was dealing with somebody who actually
owned a Harley.
My mistake.

Jason, if you don't have one already I suggest you buy the service manual
for your bike.  If you get the manual then you will see that this "boot
where the  upper and lower clutch cables join at the forward portion of the
motorcycle" is the clutch adjustment (at least that is the vibe I am
getting).  You don't mention it but if you lube your cable it might leak at
that point.

Read the FAQ. http://rmhfaq.com/  , post an intro, buy a round for the house.
Reading the FAW will go a long way in educating you how to post here
correctly and actually get a useful answer.  It is just the way things are
done here,  there is no point in fighting it.
