My XLH sat for almost a month in my garage over the holidays. It actually got down into the 30's, so it was cold while we were gone.

When I got back my rear tire was almost flat. I have my own compressor, so put it back to 40 psig this AM and it's been there all day. I'll keep watching.

I inspected for nails, cuts, valve leakage, etc., but the tire still looks brand new. I think it was new when I bought it, so suspect it may not have been properly seated? (I bought this from a widow. Her husband passed away after doing all sorts of neat things including putting on new tires, and I don't think it ever got ridden very much after that).

If it continues as a slow leak, the cause of which cannot be definitly identified, are there any caveats to adding some of that stuff sold in...

So i was doing this toy run, for the shriner's burn unit in galveston, wich was a blast, so many people showed up it was awsome. JJ's puts it together.
On the way to the hospital,were cruzin over this causeway, and in a blink of an eyelash, i notice my saddle bag lid shooting straight up twirling as it dissappears over the bridge!!!!!! Notta thing i could do about it, bikes in front of me, bikes behind me, not to mention were on top of the causeway wich seems like 300 feet!!! Shaking my my head in disbelief, as i am trying so hard not to rant, rave ,yell ,scream , and cuss...........

we finally get to the hospital, and my wife the person she is just goes up to these kids and hands out stuffed animals, that she had stashed or should i say tried to hide in the saddle bag, yupp...

The brake light flickers on and off on my '97 Wideglide. I have isolated it to the front plunger switch in the master for the front brake. The switch actually seems to be fine but it seems, rather that the plunger in the master cylinder doesn't return far enough after applying the brakes. This leaves the lever a little loose which in turn dosen't push the plunger switch far enough to turn off the brake light. Is there a spring or something that could be weak or broken in the master cylinder?
