Default manual to automatic compression releases!!

just got fortunate to pick up a 2004 harley dyna with built motor putting out 123 hp!! i was having a hard time with the manual compression releases: the rear one didn't want to stay down and everytime it cut off i had to press them back down again of course. i search and initially didn't find much and usual responses that its a lot of work and money to do but after really looking around i stumbled on an ebay site that has a kit to convert manual to automatic!! willing to take a gamble and give it a try: took 15 minutes to install (already had the manual compression releases removed), zip ties to hide the wiring and boom: i have automatic compression releases!!!! all i have to do is just hit the starter button and it "automatically" starts right up!!!!!

Yup, great stuff. I put the same system on my 106" Evo build since I'm POSITIVE the OEM starter would never be able to crank that kind of beef over.

Default Awesome!!

my carb must n Ed to be refr she’s and or rebuilt due to it keep cutting off and being I just got the bike at times I forgot to manually compress the releases and never wanted to start up. With this easy and really quick install: the bike start right up like it’s fuel injected! My only problem now I just need to clean up the carb and maybe replace a jet or something. Will get in there and get it cleaned out. But love the automatic releases!! It may have been why the seller didn’t want the bike anymore??? Glad I did the change!
