wandering why the 2" x 1/2" notch in FSG drawing ?

not my pic, don't use photobucket for starters and wouldn't remove a comp with the adjuster still installed, that's just outright lazy, but you can see the notch provides clearance for the ring gear on pre 06 dyna & 07 models

$50 USD is outrageous!

yeppers BUT good money if you can get it from the unsuspecting punter 😊

The notch must be to make it two different models.

I just ordered a Jim's bar, I wasn't hot on that step block. Years ago I used a bar.

So you paid $50 instead of $15.   

Nope, 30.00 on eBay. I ok with that.

Indeed on the newer models it is important to use the lock bar instead of the old stepped-rubber block.  For my 2012 FLHTK I made a lock bar from a piece of 0.25" thick X 1.0" wide mild steel bar that I bought from Lowes. I cut off a piece 5.95" long, rounded each end, and stenciled the part number and "6-speed" on each side to make it look "official". It worked perfectly for changing out my compensator recently whereby the compensator screw must be torqued to 175 ft-lbs.

Best,

The notch is needed to get around the starter ring gear. I needed to make locking bar that way for my 2001 Ultra.

For my 12 EG I just cut a piece of aluminum flat (1.5" x 1/4") down until it fit.

Any metal softer than the drive parts will do. Mine's 2" x 1/4" Mild steel.
$50 USD is outrageous!

Actually, the 50.00 price came from the dealer for the plastic step one. Even more outrageous.

I used the bar today and it worked great.

...and that ain't the last time you'll use it.  Next time you need one, you'll just grab it somewhere in your garage in seconds.

Made my own years ago out of mild steel bar. Cost me nothing.
