Fxr2/3/4 Enricher Cable/Knob/Kit
« on: January 03, 2009, 04:22:50 PM »

Took my fuel tank off today to do a few things underside. Looking around; I noticed my enricher knob was broken (kept wondering why enricher knob would not lock out when pulled out) and checked my Fxr4 parts manual to find PN to replace. Found "Enricher Cable" pg #20,...pg #21 Item # 19, PN: 29229-88B Cable enricher.

I am going to replace it as it is broken but looking at it; it is made of cheap a$$ plastic crap and no wonder it broke.

Does anyone know if, where, a replacement/aftermarket kit for one made of stainless, or some other more durable alloy can be purchased? 

Thanks Guys...Blaine  :2vrolijk_21:

Sorry Blaine. I never liked or ran the stock CV's. The enrichener is built directly into the S&S carb. I'll check and see if there's any better replacement for yours. If I do, I'll let ya know! :2vrolijk_21:

I just checked the J&P Cycle Catalog. They show Billet Knobs from Novello. They're the only one in there though. ;)

Thanks man  :2vrolijk_21:...I've been google searching and looking through J&P catalog but nothing yet. I mean it ain't no big deal to replace and the money for a new stock one is around $15.00; just tryin to see if I can find a more durable setup than the plastic S&#T HD put on there. It's the plastic threaded sleeve the tighting nut is attached to that is S*#T; ya tighten down to much and snap, crackle, pop  ;D ....My DUMB ASS  :o  :(  >:( ...but hey, live and learn  ;D

Sorry I hit the post button to quick

That is just the mount but if you click on the sellers other items he has the cable and knob also.

Thanks for lookin out for me Pete  :2vrolijk_21:, I looked briefly at it; will check it in more detail when I can. Mainly looking to just replace the stock cable with a metal alloy aftermarket like item if one exists but will look closer at this one  :2vrolijk_21:

I broke my plastic crap thing in June .............. bought a HD replacement ...... cheaper plastic then the stock one back in 2000

I did however find a chrome cover that goes over the plastic knob ......  If you want I'll look around and see if I can find that PN

the only one that I've ever seen is still the plastic thing.......... the chrome knob cover makes it 'look' better, but it's still plastic under that ..... it functions 'ok' but I'd rather have a 'real' cable.


the stock cable will work with 'many' carbs, and will work with the Mikukni that I'm putting on in my build  :DD

I found many knob covers, but no replacement knobs at all. I looked around pretty good too Blaine. That Novello one isn't available anymore either. :nixweiss:

be careful when you install it..... DO NOT try to tighten down the nut on the back of it that holds it in the slot in the bracket.  If you over tighten it, you'll break the plastic neck, don't ask me how I know this ................  :'(
