How much would you charge me to diagnose and fix my bike if I brought it to you? I've tried 8 shops around here. Not sure I want to keep trying this area. I'm not sure which is worse: me throwing money at parts that haven't fixed it or me throwing money at shops that haven't fixed it. At least with the parts I build up a nice supply of Harley-made paper weights. Just a rough guestimate is fine.

I was saying the Innova sounds familiar as one I've seen recommended.

That's not a scenario that can exist, but thank you for the offer. I haven't read this whole thread yet so I can't really offer any advice on what's going on with your bike.

Oh lmao that is completely my mistake to read that as being directed at me sorry. That makes so much more sense, heh.

Nova Scotia is pretty great for riding. We don't have many roads, both in terms of milage and the fact that there aren't that many of them, but what we do have is glorious.

Default Harley factory put regulator plug on backwards on main wiring harness

Let's see how long the warranty fight takes and if Harley will do the right thing and compensate me for my defective $760+ wiring harness and all it has cost me because of that defect.

Not sure which line out is hot so test both at the regulator. One should read 14 volts aprox. The other will be 0 volts. and try ground on both frame and direct to battery and see if you get different readings.
