How long would you think itll take to uninstall stock pipes and to install a new stock? Im a young gun with no experience ready to get into the motorcylce industry and jus want to know the timing of things. Plz get back to me and thanks for the video man🤙🏽
this is a very good video very informative putting that cardboard there to protect that motor mount is a very good idea because of that oil gets on that motor mount it will rot it out and you will be replacing it
Is it just my set or did the front header not fit into the cylinder? Normally a header will sit inside the cylinder but the front header was just as wide as the hole in the cylinder
I have the stock mounting bracket, the bolts snapped, I'm having a hell of a time locating the nuts and bolts to fix. Does anybody know the hardware sizes so I can re mount my bracket?
I need one for my 2009 sportster. Can't use Harley one as it was installed at dealership but not all working Harley left me in the cold once again they sell stuff just don't back it or stand behind it. Really strange for a dealership
I had one installed at the dealership with a sending unit. Over a 1000 bucks installed . I found out later that apparently it does not work on all sportsters as mine lacks all the bells an whistles. I have an allways low fuel light fuel gauge and related does not work. The dealership said once out the door your on you own work or not. Tack works speedo works rest is just residual garbage. Think I'm gonna try Dakota seen how Harley don't work and ain't gonna correct it. By the way if you do call Harley Teck at home ne nice or you'll get shut off
Weird thing, I have an 05 road king, and speedo shorted out after washing it. I bought this same tach, but the model # ends with B instead of A. Same thing except for there is no KPH on MPH. I followed the install and data link to a T, and when I would ignition I'd get a NO CAL in the LCD, and then that would go away, and it was replaced with NO SPD. It would not transfer the odometer to the new odometer. I'm thinking that if your speedo stopped working, replacing it with this type of Speedo will not work due to the inability to transfer odometer reading of a broken speedo to the new speedometer. I can't find anyone with an answer to this. I thought this might be an issue, as the old speedo was as if it wasn't there because IT WAS BROKEN (insert Sam Kinison Tirade). Our shop service guy in Folsom checked with the mechanic, and "it's okay, just follow the directions." Engine switch on, Data Link plugged in, no go! I had the old speedo out, and was tapping it and banging it slightly, and I saw LED partially show numbers, they would immediately dim if I stopped squeezing the old gauge. Thinking the ecm possibly sensed the old speedo after doing the Fonz bang and tap on the old speedo, which seemed to allow some juice into it, so I did the transfer procedure again, and something did change this time as it just went to NO CAL, without going to NO SPD. I'm assuming NO SPD means it isn't sensing a speedo. Well It stopped that, and the NO CAL shows. There is a red light blinking, but then after a bit the red light goes solid and stays on. But still it did not do the conversion. The trouble shooting guide for this particular NO CAL says, normal function, but ads as long as "percentage and ok" show, which they don't. I went ahead and plugged the new speedo into the consul to see if something happened, and the new speedo lit up beautifully, but with NO CAL or something I forget. But no odometer transfer. I'm wondering if I should ride it and go through that 31 mph countdown the document spells out. I'm going back down to get a speed sensor. Apparantly, it could be that issue if the signal lights don't cancel, for one sign. With the bike just leaning on the stand, it doesn't cancel. Somebody said I had to at least lean it or move the steering for it to cancel, which I haven't done. So, I'll check for cancellation leaning and turning the bike. With all the forums out there only about 4 of these issues are on the net, and none of those who had the problem explained how they solved it. These speedo combo's don't work if your replacing a broken one. They should explain this, as there is no refund for them. They seem to only work if you are upgrading. I need to get the odometer reading back, as I'm selling. Any ideas?
just installed this same speedo on a 2010 flstf fat boy and went to transfer data and reads VIN ERR and now will not start but cranks over. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Anthony Miranda . Put old working speedo back in . Hook data link to new speedo and transfer data from old speedo to new . If Your old speedo don't work the data won't transfer. I ran into this problem. Took it to Harley they wanted to charge me 16 hours shop time to do a complete diagnostic ! No way . I even pointed out my old speedo didn't work they said it didn't matter. I said the instructions say working speedo to transfer. Anyway bought a used speedo for 50 bucks hooked it up it worked. Hooked data link up to the new Speedo and the Data Transferred.
Hi Steve, thanks for the tutorial. I need to know the size of the screws that replace the transmission to 391-P bracket, size of the spacer, and the four screws of dogbone. Thank you.
Hi Steve, I just bought 2012 FXD Dyna Super Glide and I need to change the damaged exhaust pipes, any chance you know if any Dyna exhaust will fit? I have my eye on few Vance & Hines exhausts but am not sure if it fits my model.
Yes it's the nuts at the manifold, all 4 of them. Even had it at the dealer. All they did was re-torqued it. Came loose again on the 10 mile ride home. Even the stock exhaust was loose too when I started the change over. You think red lock tite would work around all the heat at the exhaust flange?
I just spoke with my dealer. They seem to think that my studs must be bad. I also used James Genuine gaskets too. I heard someone say on a chat forum that you should use Harley exhaust gaskets on V&H pipes. I also E-mailed V&H asking which are the best to use. I will have the dealer put new studs in for me. Thanks for the quick response Steve, I'll keep you informed.
Here is an interesting way to pump oil out - this may help: www.hdforums.com/forum/evo-classic-models/527326-read-this-how-to-pump-oil-from-crankcase-after-sitting.html
Hello I have a question if you're still reading this post. I purchased a 2003 dyna super glide and the oil was very dark and dirty. Ok after doing an oil and filter and changing the new oil synthetic it seemed to had picking up the old oil left behind. I put on 300 mile over the past 2 years and this new summer although not a lot of miles on the oil I'm thinking of changing it again. How can I get it golden with multi cheap oil changes just to clean it not keep in the case. also re-clean filter until im happy with the color of oil then put on a new filter with fresh synthetic oil. What I'm saying is if i do an oil change the new oil will still get dirty and will be a waste of money, so I'd like to clean out the crank case before replacing a new oil and filter. thanks Lou
If you run the bike to operating temp. Inside the motor is wet with old oil. But when you run the bike with new oil it will look light dark brown color it still okay. It doesn't have to be super clean like comes out of the bottle. If it's really dark brown or black than that's bad. Change it right away. I'm Harley tech. Need help ask me anytime
Steve, do you know if the transfer will work "backwards"? Meaning. I already had my bike torn apart for paint and decided to get a new speedo. I don't want to install the old one to transfer it and then uninstall it. Do you know if the transfer would still work if I installed the new one and put the old one where the data link cable is? Thanks!
