Can't wait to take 'er for a spin to feeeel all that extra power! Less friction from wind flowing across that chrome rather than the black rubber surface - might be closer to 10 more HP 😜

 

I am having trouble with my 2009 Ultra Classic cruise. I added the turn signal extensions from HD and now my cruise won't engage. I have looked for wiring problems on the switches on the handle bars all looks OK, Also after installing the switch I found I had to move the throttle twist up to allow it to engage. All front and rear break switches work correctly and not keeping break light on, I need some helpful suggestions. I went thru the throttle idle reset instructions but the red cruise icon never turns GREEN??

 

Well checked the air pressure again today and was at zero. Looks like I need new rear shocks. Anyone have a line on a good deal on some take offs?

 

I still think that it is your hand air pump that is releasing the air out of the system. You have to use a no loss air pump on these. If you hear any air at all when you unhook the pump, it is losing the air. Now on a tire holding 30 pounds of pressure, when you hear air at the valve stem after filling, that's no big deal. But on these shocks, the system is so small that it will lose all the air if not using a no loss air pump. Harley makes the proper tool to check and fill them and also there are aftermarket ones as well. IF the shocks are leaking, it's usually an easy fix...make sure lines are pushed in properly at the connections....take brass fittings out of the shocks and re-apply teflon tape. Hope this helps.

I will give that a try and hope you are right. I am leaning towards they are bad because last year when I got the bike I checked them and noticed they needed some air. I added some using my air compressor not realizing you are not supposed to do that.

 

That's a critical piece of info. I'm guessing you blew a seal. Not this kind:

 

Yeah I figured they were done for. That's funny

 

 

 

Installed the rear Defiance boards.
