Thanks for the suggestions. I went home and hooked up the battery to a charger. The charger had a special switch for starting a dead engine. When I flipped the switch and more power was sent into the bike, it started with no problem. Funny thing, I just bought that battery. Anyway, what specs should I look for when buying a battery? 1.8, 1.4 ...some even show 2.0 . What is the highest output that I should get without frying out the electrical system?

I am looking at installing a new set of Big Shot shorts on my 2004 Wide Glide EFI with the expectation of increased power and a more pleasing sound.The bike has a stage 1 kit with Screaming Eagle 2 pipes and a Dyno Jet PC3 .In talking to the local motorcycle tech. I was informed that instead of a power gain I could expect to loose with a flat spot in the low end of the power band. I am looking for feedback so I can make an informed choice,any comments !!!

I'm looking at exhaust for my '03 FatBoy. I've come across some different Santee models, but I can't find much info on them. Do they have removable baffles? How do they hold up to bluing?

I am a new harley owner and I have a 91 FXRS Lowrider. I believe I am having started problems. When I hit the start switch, I hear the relay click, but no sound from the starter. Sometimes, the starter will turn over the engine fine.....but it seems to work less and less.

I asked a tech about the problem and he was pushing toward a starter clutch problem, but I think it may not be that.

Any suggestions

Hi there,well this is my first post.I am looking at buying a 1986 FXRS with a fat boy front end.I have been told by a few people that older harleys are too much trouble and always break down and need repairing.Is this correct?Or are the new EVO motors better than older motors?Some info regarding this matter would be appreciated as i dont know what to do.
