Bike Talk motorcycle forum

Hey Guys,

I need to tap into the Bike Talk Knowledge Base. This weekend I had the bike torn down to install the wires through the bars, chrome switch housings, chrome front master cylinder, chrome brake and clutch levers, new grips, and braided cables (brake, throttle and clutch). When I put everything back together it seems I let a gremlin in.

THE BIKE - 2005 Softail Deluxe w/ Stock ECU, Power Commander, Screamin Eagle Air Filter, and V&H Drag Pipes.

THE PROBLEM - When I turn the ignition on the turn signals and brake light burn continuously. The alarm light (little red key on speedo) comes on for a few seconds, then goes off for a few seconds, and then comes back on and stays on until turning the ignition back off.

After changing the front end on my 86 FXR from a 35 mm to a 39 I have no fork lock on my tripple tree (dam those new and improved bikes) and need a way to lock my bike while I'm out and about.. I don't like the disk lock because I will forget about it. Got any ideas?

I am looking to polish my own brake rotors. Does anybody have any insight on polish, cutting compunds, etc.

I am interested in putting a wide glide front end on my 01 lowrider. Can anyone help me out as far as what is a good way and a safe way to do this. Some I have talked to said that i will get a high speed vibration if i do this can anyone help

After I got my 98 FatBoy, I jetted the carb, added V&H pipes and K & N air filter. I now have a EFI Ultra Classic and want to make it heard with similar build. I'm more on a budget now, and this will work out better if I do them seperately. Do I need to do all three things at the same time, or can I just change the air flow, then pipes, then Power Commander? Or the same things in a different order? Thanks!
