TOTAL Electrical shut down
I've got a 2002 Electraglide with an intermittent problem. \\; Long story short I went into an S turn too hot near a quarry, gravel all over the road. \\; There was no oncoming traffic so I straightened her up so I could nail the brakes. We were riding two up and hit a deep pothole with the rear tire and bottomed out hard while braking. \\; The bike stalled. \\; After cleaning my shorts I started up the bike without incident and proceeded 2 hours down the road. \\; While putting through a town the electrical system shut down. \\; I drifted off the road and let her sit 2 minutes. \\; The breaker reset and I was off. \\; Road 3 hours home without incident. \\; Over the last \\;6 weeks \\;its happened 3 more times with varying durations of ride. \\; It always starts up again after 2 minutes. \\; It finally happened while riding solo after 2 weeks of commuting. \\; Any ideas before it happens in front of a highballing semi?

RE: TOTAL Electrical shut down
Sounds like you have a loose or broken/chafed wire or connection that is tripping the breaker. I would start buy going through all the plugs in the wiring harness &\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; fuse panel and check all the connections. Then look at the wiring adjacent to the rear tire that may have been damaged by the pothole incident.Check the fuse panel for cracks or damage. \\;If your bike has a maxi fuse test it.

I had the same problem sith my last Ultra. \\; The \\; '01 &\\; '02 Glides had a problem with a faulty main breaker. \\; I think HD finally issues a TSB on it. \\; But before you go crazy chasing down a bunch of other things, i would replace the main breaker with a new one. \\; I believe it is a 40 amp, self resetting and it is located under the seat
