Thanks Russ , I just finished 46 pages about a transmission problem that I don’t even have . It was an interesting read !. I may not be in the market for a new Harley until at least 2020 .

Why they re-engineered something that was working just fine the way it was and screwed it up and not take ownership of the problem is beyond me.

Yes I leave it on there all the time. It has a "gauge" feature where you can monitor all sorts of things, head temps, intake air temp, battery voltage, current gear, all sorts of stuff.

How do you get at the nut that holds it together?

You have to pull the headlamp to get to it. One screw at the bottom of the trim ring, three screws for the headlamp retaining ring, about 8 or 10 screws for the headlamp "bucket" and then you're in. There are two nuts that hold that trim piece on and mine did not loosen back up today.

Sheesh! Just to tighten one nut? Oooof! Dodge must've had a hand in designing that thing!

O that thing ! I forgot to check mine when I was out in the garage to see if it was loose.
I don’t know if it is but my running board rattle and my driver back rest squeak drives me crazy!
