thanks. I have a 2017. That pic is from the 2017 touring manual. The fork looks different than mine in that pic.

Ok I'm a 2016. That pic looks like suspension similar to my 2004 Road King Classic with how the fork has the clamp setup at the axle.

Hobbled out to the garage in my walking boot - had a torn Peroneal Tendon repaired in early December, 50+ years of hard running miles and untold road races all over the country, and stared at my ride. 🤦‍♂️. Looks like early March before I’m back in the saddle. Here’s to a healthy and happy New Year! Stay safe out there.

Appreciate that - sometimes trying to fight off Father Time kicks my ***. But I ain’t done yet.

I'm forced off the bike till mid March, 3 surgeries since August, Fusion if C3-C4, and C4-C5 started things off, then a grinding of bone for clearance of spinal canal and nerve channels at L4-L5 and failed attempt at L3-L4 followed by the last surgery a fusion of L3-L4 in order to grind out the clearance of the spinal canal and nerve channels there. All stemming from multiple MVA's over the decades.

I think this kit has a male / female adapter coupling that will work I can’t get a 100% video on explaining if if can be done.
Question: Wouldn't it be easier to jump start a bike at the battery connection on the starter motor and any convenient ground?

Happy New Year!! New Year's Day, I feel fine and decided to put LED turn signals on my 2014 UL. Easy enough but then decided to check PSI. Rear tire is such a PITA to check! But I have not done it since November and it was 10 psi low, mostly due to colder weather. After rolling the bike back, get off check for valve, back on bike roll back some more 3 times . And still greasy hands just to check air . This is why I don't do it as often as I should. But I'm riding tomorrow so..... Doing a "windmills" tour of Connecticut with a few friends

Certainly would ! You can even charge your battery that way too.
