It's a lot easier to do this if you stand on the left side of the bike and turn the bars as far as possible to the right. This opens up the most room, so you can get your hand up in there. Anyone who has done this before knows it can be a bit of a pain to get the threads lined up right so they bite. This method is the easiest on your hand. | It's a lot easier to do this if you stand on the left side of the bike and turn the bars as far as possible to the right.

====Fixing the cable retainer==== | |||
If you find that your speedometer cable keeper/retainer pops in and out of the hole easily on the fender, there is a pretty simple fix. | |||
You will notice that the end of the peg is split. The next time you have the front wheel off, find a short, fat wood or sheet metal screw. Use a wide, round-headed small screw, and '''make sure it's short enough that it won't come anywhere near your tire.''' Put the peg through the fender, then gently insert the screw into the split peg end. This spreads the peg enough to hold it in place. | |||
