Well, I've had my Sundowner solo seat and pillion on for nearly a week. I haven't been able to ride that much but I did ride for awhile today. Although the seat is much firmer than my old seat it seems to be very comfortable on the highway. I think I am going to like it for me....the important factor is whether my wife will like the wider pillion when she rides with me. It is 12 1/2" wide compared to the 8 1/2" width of the sport seat that it replaces. I also installed the wider contoured backrest pad. I'll let you guys know how she likes her half of the seat whenever she rides with me next.
While I was around a Harley shop today I stopped in to look for an air cleaner cover insert. The one I have had on has the gold flames and HD insignia. The gold part of the flames was starting to turn kinda brown so I bought the chromed billet looking insert. And while I was there I bought a new rack for the back replacing the round tube one that I use for the rack bag. Damn it's so much fun to spend money on my bike.......until the wife sees the check-book that is!
The solo and pillion are both a half inch wider than the one piece Sundowner.. I was really getting it for a wider passenger seat anyway. The Solo has a cradeling contour that really feels great along with a narrow front that is nice for constant feet-down stop and go traffic like I encountered in Daytona. I really like the looks of it better also.
This is my 1st season on my new to me bike 03 anniversary softail. Starts great, runs great, fun...but when I start it shortly after a ride when it is hot, I see some smoke under the tank and takes a few times to start. Then runs fine. Advice, tips, have you heard of this?
According to Harley stealerships and the official service manual for my 2003 Softail, mechanical oil pressure gauge connection must be made by removing the oil pressure switch and plumbing a “T” fitting at the switch location. Of course Harley ( as well as any number of aftermarket retailers )...
Howdy y'all,
Long time, no talk since I left Switzerland to return home in the USA.
I have been lurking out here occasionally reading the board. Mostly busy re-building a new life and work.
Gentlemen, my bike has been running pretty good since my return to the States once I re-tuned it for...
I have replaced the stock fuel injection system on a 2001 Road King with a Mikuni Carburetor. Now the automatic turn signal cancelling feature no longer operates. I have to manually cancel the lights after a turn. My local shop says there is nothing that can be done. Any suggestions?
This may be a dumb question but I am going to ask. Does anyone know what the trouble code P1010 Password Missing EFI actually means or how to correct the problem? 2002 FLSTFI
