This video is a good " in general " video , I have a 2023 fxbbs114 but it's the same procedure to remove the battery . There's actually more room than this video makes it seem like there is to get to the positive cable through the right cover . A magnetic Phillips head screw driver is absolutely your best friend for the positive screw . I'm not the best mechanically and I have rather larger hands and arms and got this done in about 10 minutes .

STEP 1: completely disassemble entire Harley...

You da fuckin man! Thank you for your in depth r&r 🤘🏽

Wow. That couldn't have been more difficult... jeezzzz

Отличная инструкция для доступа к клеммам аккумулятора, с целью подключения зарядного устройства. Спасибо автору видео👍 В противном случае уже думал снимать амортизатор для доступа сверху

Horrible design, i hate these new harleys, thanks for the vid man helped alot

Legends, thank you, my original pissy little battery on my fxst has died after only 2 years, time for a agm upgrade

Putting those bloody clips back on look a pain in the arse😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Very helpful, However, i can probably engineer a better battery placement with a dull crayon after a thirty pack of natty daddies, blindfolded.

Uh, put some paper towel in your oil fill tube after removing the dip stick. You do NOT want dust, the negative battery bolt or that 5/32" allen bolt from the side cover falling in there!

Stupid ass bikes

This is ridiculous, to change a battery ! 🙄🙄

Thank you. This video helped me not go insane in this hot garage.

Great video thank you very much.

Thank you. I did not noticed the strap until it was pointed out here. It is over engineered.

Does anyone know if there exist a compatible battery for Fatboy 114 2019?...besides the original, of course

Use a flex head dude, geeze

Can't tell you how many times i dropped the stupid terminal screws and lose them for 30 mins, stupid ass design, thanks moco

Pain in the ass getting that plastics piece back in their took forever

Who signed off on this colossally ignorant battery placement? Worst design EVER

First you should put something over the oil dipstick hole so nothing falls in. just another reason why I'll never buy a M8

Can the harness be used to jump start a dead battery? I have been unable to find an attachment that can connect the harness to regular jumpstart cables.

WTF?

Wow, I'm tired just watching you. Service techs have a lot of patience for sure.

How do you jumpstart it without doing all that?

Nice info man thanks

Almost all the videos show how to remove the battery the problem: they don't tell you that when you remove the negative cable the alarm is gonna go off and they don't tell you how to stop it

What a pain in the ass.

What is the max amp draw on the m8 accessory wiring kit and could this be setup to run a Kuryakyn soundbar, a denali air horn, and a dual led flag pole whip antenna kit or do additional power wire leads need to be run to the battery? I'm assuming there is a need for additional power and there is no room at all on my 2021 street bob fxbbs for a fuse box/block. Any ideas how to run additional battery power lead for multiple devices like this on my bike without creating a wiring mess in the cramped space available both fused and relayed? Could you make a tutorial or know of any available?

This is great, I was stressing about how hard it was going to be but it seems east.

Yeaaa. Great help. Thanks mate. Really help me to realize that I do not need to move the entire harness on the left side. Huge Thumps up. 🤟🤟🤟💪👍

Super helpful thank you

Great video buddy. Very clear and quick

Great video short and to the point, very helpful

Great video! You make it look easy bro lol. I was watching this video to learn how to access/locate the positive and negative terminals because I want to install a lightbar. Does the plastic cover that you remove at 3:39 need to be taken out in order to access the positive?

Tocca smontare mezza moto per una batteria roba da pazzi

I'm glad im not the only one that thinks the new softail battery location is rediculous. I removed the side covers and seat to hook up a maintainer and shook my head 🤦‍♂️ I knew I would figure it out if I wanted to but I was waiting untill I needed a new battery to just install everything at once. Figured I'd watch a video to make sure I don't take too much apart 😅

2023 and video helped so much. 👍🏼Legend

I so want to thank you for posting this video. You have know idea how much you saved me with this. I was used to my Pro Street Chopper were all you had to do was remove the seat release two clamps and your done. Hell...I think this video even saved my marriage.

Hello, I have a Softail Standard, my problem is the battery pull out. Now I've seen you pull a strap under the battery, it's the series I don't have it. Tom

Please Dude put a tissue in that dipstick hole.

OHHHHH there's a strap!!!!!! That made a HUGE difference!!!! Thanks for your excellent vid!! 👍🏽👍🏽😁👍🏽👍🏽

What was that first tool name?

Thanks. Left my 2020 parked for five months (on a tender). Now getting some kind of battery warning.

Engineers do hate mechanics. Anymore stuff and you will find the arc of the covenant AND hitler’s lost gold train.

I have this bike and my question is how the hell are you suppose to hook a charger up to it if the battery dies out on a ride? That'd the 1st question that came to mind. What was harley thinking with this design?

good vid nice and clear ,only comment is maybe use the extension on negative terminal as to stop hitting the frame as it is someone's ride .

1st: Put oil dip stick back in oil filler so Screws or other loose parts down fall in to oil reservoir 2: Use an ratchet extension when loosening neg wire instead of having the rachet smashing and scratching the frame in which you were doing. 3: take a little more pride in your work! If i was your boss and seen you smashing that ratchet against the frame? BOOOOOOM , your fired.

Great vid. I was ready to take my sawsall to the darn thing.

Thanks for the concise video. The only things I did differently was using a flat head to help with that second rear clip, my fat fingers couldn’t get it. And I just opened the retaining clip instead of removing it, I tend to break them to often.
