I'm having a weird situation that I was wondering if anyone had any experience or advice with. All of a sudden my 2011 Lo will not start unless it is in neutral. I thought that maybe there was too much slack in the clutch cable so I tightened that up a bit and it still will only start in neutral. It's otherwise running perfect. It's almost like there is some switch that is supposed to recognize when the clutch lever is pulled in, but that switch isn't working. I don't know how that works though. I have no trouble shifting gears or anything like that. Runs as smooth as ever.

I might be crazy and all but I had an idea...... Does anyone make a wide white wall tire for the Lo's yet and if so has anyone tried it yet? Saw an old school fatboy over the weekend with white walls and just got to thinkin....

Look at your switch real good on your clutch lever. I had the same problem when I changed out my levers.

I thought 200s have to be custom done? Whitewalls on a white Lo would be sweet.

or continue.. looks like i'm going to attempt a 1.5" tank lift now.. I was going to go 2", but while I was doing my measurements, I couldn't lift the tank any higher than 1.7" without the turn signals hitting the tank on either side.. so hopefully 1.5" gives me a good look all the same

Hey everyone. I'm new here. just bought a 2011 Lo, picking it up next week. Id like to make a few small changes before riding weather comes around and was hoping for some help finding websites to order some stuff. I would really like to black out the tail lights and directionals and just small things. where do you guys order you stuff from?
