    What ?

    How are you getting that 6 2 watt LEDs ? From what I remember, watts/volts = amps. 12 watts/12 volts would seem to draw roughly 1 amp. If my memory of Ohn's law is incorrect, I'm sure I will be...

    Thank You

    That is the only way I have been able to get to the inner fittings too. Glad to hear someone else does it the same way.

    No anger with Harleys

    I have no anger toward Harleys or their owners and I would get down on my knees and praise God for a day that I didn't wake up to and go to sleep to exhaust noise from cars, trucks and motorcycles....

    "Jack up the rear wheel ? "

    You have really understated just how much is involved in removing the rear tire. I am finishing up this project and I was overwhelmed at how much had to come out and be disassembled. Just getting the...

    Don't sweat it

    Don't worry about holding anyone up. The only drawback to being at the back of a bunch of Harleys is that none of them have any mufflers and all you hear is exhaust not any music. Maybe consider...

    The Lower Belt guard bolt

    This would be for the top bolt in the belt guard. The other holes for this would have had bolts with capnuts.

    Good call

    Changing your own oil will give you a chance to learn more about your RT and a chance to check over the rest of the items that need to be checked during a service.:riding:

    Replace the battery

    What you are seeing on a volt meter is "surface voltage". It tells you very little about the real health of your battery. The sealed lead acid battery in your RT is very different from a car battery....

    Why change sizes?

    Why do people change away from the factory size of 225/50/15? Is it to keep the same brand on the front and back? What difference will it make to go to a taller tire like the 225/60/15. The tire...

    Question

    I have been looking at rear tires all winter. In comparing the tire sizes on a web site the 225/60R/15 was listed as being over 7.75% bigger in diameter than the 225/50R/50. That site recommended not...

    No. The engine has to be running and it has to be in gear for the compressor to activate.

    For your consideration

    suggestions: # 1 Pull the front wheels up on 2x6 boards cut on a 45% angle on the end.
    # 2 Use your service jack to lift up the front with a block of wood protecting the frame.

    The BRP CB is really the only way to go. It plugs directly into the entertainment harness that is already on the RT. Your husband will need a wired headset to install in his helmet. The good news is...
