Well ya'all, I am off tomorrow for DC...eventually. Going to go up through the Shanendoah Valley, camp out some and enjoy the ride. Cause The Memorial Day ride takes a lot out of you. If you have never made it....you should make plans to go sometime. I will be back in a couple of weeks, so ya'all take care and keep the shiny side up 'til then.

Ride Free..........

I have a 2006 Softail 1450 and would like to lower the idle speed... how do I do this?

I have a 1991 Sportster. Last riding season I started having problems after it tipped over on the clutch side of the bike. I was parked at the time and not moving. I went over with it so I thought that I had offset some of the impact. My wife reminded me that we had a few wierd starts when it slipped and made a noise but nothing that showed up again until it tipped over. Since then the problem has become constant. I had the top end rebuilt before starting on the following work.
Heres what I have done to it over the winter, I replaced the shift shaft and redid the pawl adjustment, no luck, I installed new shift forks, shift drum, and pins. No help. I replaced the entire clutch release mechanism and have adjusted the clutch from one end to the other. Dismantled entire clutch, friction...

I have a 1988 FLHS be having problem with crank sensor it keeps blowing. I have replaced slater,regulator,spark plug wires,ignition module,rotor,checked all the wires for possible breaks and replaced battery , coil and found nothing. (I have dumped 1,000.00 in this and no fix, nobody knows what the problem is.

I bought some 194 style 12Vdc LED bulbs to get some brighter signal lights. Put them in no problem, but only one light works (the blinker, the marker light does not light), then when I ground it (touch the signal body to the fork) the other light works (the marker not the blinker). I am confused! When I put the orginal bulbs back, 194NA 12Vdc sylvania lamps, in they both work with no problems. If the old lights had the same problem I would trouble shoot the ground but they work fine.
I put new signals (low profile) on last year and the wiring is good. The low pros look great but they don't stick out and show the signal very well thats why I got the LED's.
I am going to pick up a mulit meter to check continuity as the trouble shooting flow chart states in the service...
