'14 StreetBob Brake lights not working
I just re-read my post. To be clear, you definitely have a BCM failure based on the P/N your system provides. The part I'm unsure of is the b2161 code. I don't have a code list, but I'm sure that the code is referring to a failure of that P/N.
The BCM is is a computer brain that controls everything electrical except fuel/engine electrics.
The good news is that BCM (and ECM) failures are almost always internal to the module and not indicative of other bike problems. In other words, your bike isn't a lemon, just the BCM.
Call your dealer, bust their ***** and don't hide your disappointment.

Pin It,
Check this link. It sounds like the BCM might be able to have a re-configure.

Make sure you write the code down when you see your dealer.
Good luck!

A couple of buddies and I all bought brand new dynas this year. 2 of the three came with non functioning brake lights. I put 500 miles on before I noticed since I was the first one to get a bike and always rode by myself. Just had to take them back to get the BCM reprogrammed. Was there a little red light that was always on next to your speedo?

Don't bother replacing the tag, just make sure and let them know:
That you disconnected the battery, and,
You didn't cut any wires.
If they care at all about your business, they'll take care of it.

SLV do you know anything about deleting the front turn signals? I've tried searching but have had no luck. Seems like that could turn into a headache quick. But there are newer bikes with it done so there's got to be a way
The best way to do it is to preserve the wires in the bars entirely.
Unlike the older versions, the wires can be disconnected from the internal of the TS housing.
Remove the TS from the mount.
Pop the lens off.
Slowly remive the internals in one of two ways.
- Pull the guts out the front with needle-nose pliers, or,
- Push them out with a punch from the stalk hole.
On the back of the plastic reflector, push a very small screwdriver into the wire slot and depress the curved metal spring. The wire will pull out with almost no resistance. Take your time and don't pull hard.
Then, all you need to do is cover the wire connectors with heat-shrink able tubing or tape (I prefer the HS tubing) and stuff the ends into the mirror-stalk hole. If you prefer, you can loosen the control housing and stuff the wires into the bars.
The only side-effect is that the indicator LEDs in your dash will flash faster than normal. If you want to fix this (not necessary) you can install a load equalizer on the wires you just stuffed into the housing.
I hope that makes sense. Sorry, no pictures.

What's wrong with my streetbob
I just relocated my license plate down to the swing arm and now the brake light will not come on. I had the battery disconnected when I did this. Hooked everything back up and worked. Took it for a ride and now they won't come on when I hit the brakes. Double checked everything, thing only has 3 fuses and there good. Any ideas?
