Which vent line? Transmission, oil tank, or fuel tank?

Touché. I forgot about that option.

As long as it's below the breather outlets it should be fine.

Nothing to my sportster, since I still don't have one, yet, but I listed my Ultra Classic. My back injurys has made that lovable beast too much for me. I need to lose about 300lbs....of motorcycle, lol.

I will be looking for a sporty when its sold.

Finally getting rid of my rigged up Tenere license plate holder. Found an Amazon folding side mount plate kit, kind of a cheap roadster copy.

Bad part is my existing splice is soldered and heat shrinked. Hoping to get the wiring done and ride up to lake zen for some early morning mind cleaning.

Wisamic (Black) Led Headlight installed on my '07 1200N.
Before & After photo attached.
Easy install.
Noting the prongs of the Wisa are longer than the OEM halogen, yet secure, and there was plenty of room for the connector and wiring in the HL bucket.

of the Wisa.
So I applied di-electric grease, wrapped in vinyl electrical tape, and secured the tape from unfroughing with a zip tie.
Bonus Photo:
HD Chrome loud horn, crash/ engine guard, oil cooler, Screaming Eagle plug wires, passenger pegs (matching OEM), passenger pillion, sissy bar, emulsion shocks.

Finished up the tag mount and had a nice ride up to the lake. A bit wet with a few showers and soaked roads, the Shinkos ain’t too shabby.

A touch over 200 miles and I’m starting some auto-tunes today, after installing the stock speedo (Koso tach won’t let PV connect).

So damn hot here running hours are between 0700-1100. Had a 103 index yesterday afternoon, too damn hot to ride.

I've had the same grips and switch extensions mounted on the Hollywood bars on my Forty Eight for about 3 or so years.

They work for me as well...

I rode it around 130 miles or so. Beautiful day here today!



Started noticing that the security system light on the speedo was coming on, and then going off and the bike does not have a security system on it. Ends up it was the front brake light switch sticking on, code 62262 in the BCM. I did not know that the security light coming on was an indicator of an issue unrelated to the EMC. Live and learn.

Flushed out the brake light switch with spray silicone this evening, cleared the code and everything seems back to normal. Knock on wood...
