using the direction of travel as in indicator, the pin should keep the sensor from rotating. if it were opposite, the initial travel could cause a MIL.
at least in my head, that is how this should work.

That makes perfect sense, thanks

Yep, so that if the Sensor spins at all, it's stopped by the Pin on the Fork Lower.
Brilliant - thanks for confirming.

Fantastic - thank you

Oh since I didn't report back here, but I think some people may be interested in how the FOX rear shock rides. I posted it along with some photos n the 2018+ Softail thread: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/2018-...l#post21143414

And it's a fantastic upgrade. Stock rode pretty well so it had a lot to live up too.
The ride is SMOOTH, like the rear of the bike now feels like it glides.
There is more Lean angle for sure, I'm not sure by how much but I barely tapped a floorboard during one of the turns. With stock I could get through some turns with a floorboard dragging quite a few feet.
Interestingly the ability to flick the bike between alternating turns, like Chicanes, is actually faster and more aggressive now.
Under hard acceleration it seems the bike also squats less, and acceleration feels a bit more responsive. I did re-tension the belt because it was loose after swapping the shock.
The bike definitely rides more aggressively and sport like, but it also feels a bit less impactful over bumps, so it's so far feeling more comfortable too.
Interesting to see from a simple rear shock swap.
Right now I have the preload set to 160lbs(lowest possible), with Moderate(Soft<-Moderate->Firm) rebound.
I have not yet been able to test the shock to 130mph, fastest I had it out to is 105 so far.
Sitting on the bike when stationary and bouncing up and down on the seat it actually bounces down a bit more compared to stock, which was also set to 160lbs lowest setting. Stock barely moved at all, FOX has some give when I sit down in the seat now, a lot more like the other bikes I've sat on and ridden around.
All and All it seems like a fair and noticable improvement.
If there's anything fat boy specific that yall may want to ask about it or have me test/check, ask away. I still have some testing to do.
Working on installing the chrome front end and wheel.
Hit a bit of a snag and hoping someone can let me know the right orientation/position of the ABS sensor on the front wheel.
The manual shows this:
The speed sensor index pin is on the speed sensor assembly but...
There's a "pin" on the front fork.
They don't mate together, so it's a case of which side of the "pin" on the fork does the index pin on the sensor go?
Which is why I always take pictures when working on something that i haven't worked on before. Even when taking the battery box apart, I took pictures.

I just wear a headcam.
It's come in handy not just for myself, but posting info for other people here.
