Acidrayn,
I'm a newbie here and with bikes, but not with electrical circuits. I was reading on Howard's Horns about the primary battery wires on HDs, and the site showed a pic of a hot wire after just a few thousand miles and how copper wire was discolored from corrosion. It recommended replacing them with their moster cable, also, the Howard Horn site said few batteries are good after more than a year. Check out the link at the bottom of their page for battery cables...one photo caption says "This cable is completely black and some wires are broken-not a good conductor of electricity. This bike is a 60K mile, 1991 Softail owned by a Harley Davidson Parts Manager who rides everyday, rain or shine, sleet or snow. He says, "Bike NOW starts first time, every time, and lights are much brighter!" Howards Motor Cycle Air Horns and Battery Cables
Hope you get it running smooth soon.

and all roads point to the starter.
i have a 1.4kw ultima chrome starter comin, and we'll see where that goes
im an electrical contractor, so i have DC cable and connectors on hand
so im gonna make up a nice 4awg cable from the battery to the starter and a new ground
cable
been all up and down this bike, got a k&n dynojet pcIII comin as well
thanx for your response

o, and i wrench my own junk. if its outa warranty, i wont pay a stealer to fix it, and , well, i got no warranty
so its all on me.

hey 100thrk, i see you have the diamond plate floorboards on your rk
do you have the diamond plate grips as well?
i was looking at them yesterday, and was wondering if they are comfortable or not
i dont like metal in my hands, but they seem like they might have enough rubber to make um feel ok.
let me know

Dad's got the whole diamondplate set on his `02 Road King Classic and it works nicely. Better than expected. I'm happy with my Street Bob but more and more the Road King seems like the Holy Grail! I love to borrow it.

I have diamond plate everything. I like the grips but I always wear gloves. Not sure I would like them if I did not have gloves on?

Rode my '00 Ultra from central N.Y to Sturgis last year. On the return trip the horn quit working. I didn't notice any other problem with the bike, so I rode the rest of the 1400 mile return trip. When I got home I took the bike to the shop to see why the horn quite, and learned that the upper motor mount through which the horn is grounded was G-O-N-E! Apparently fell off back about central indiana.
The shop owner and I were BOTH amazed that the bike never took to shaking wildly!

My 2001 RK, I need to take an updated picture. I've been playing with different seat/backrest setups. Picked up a four channel luggage rack/backrest, but my wife doesn't like it. She perfers the switchable Corbin Backrest. May try solo seat since most of my riding is to and from work.
