Question

Vent window handles

I just bought new vent window handle's for my 75 Highboy, is there any tips on putting these on?? Looks like to me tap out old pin and install new one's. Just wondering if anyone had any problems or suggestions on this

Be very careful that you don't break off the posts. Lube the post with anti-seize.

Just drive the pin halfway out. There should be a wavy washer under the handle to take up slack. I've been known to use vise grips to bend the post back a tad to get a tighter fit but be very careful.
