lol, man that guy.


the correct RH slider should be arriving today. thanks again for the catch. the dealer ebay guy didn't believe me and thought i was trying to pull a fast one. once he got them back he immediately refunded payment. hd messed up there. but i would have been screwed anyway because of the axle size issue even if they were right. good man

started tearing down bike:
  • rear brake rotor, line, and pad upgrade
  • pulley powdercoat
  • dual disk ness big brake kit upgrade
  • hfsm and smart siren install
  • fork spring upgrade
  • Guzzi Power Upgrade Kit 2













motorcycle, tools, and random youtube albums.... seriously, if you don't do your own work, you are missing out on some serious relaxation therapy. never listened to a fleetwood mac album a day in my life until today... you old heads had it good.

Default hfsm and smart siren install

hfsm and smart siren install

if dealer offers this, you take it.. you don't want to do this install




fleebay




------------------------

finished


googled intructions





swapped out old battery
amazon:
Amazon.com: Energizer NH22BP ACCU 9-Volt Rechargeable Battery: Health & Personal Care Amazon.com: Energizer NH22BP ACCU 9-Volt Rechargeable Battery: Health & Personal Care






the siren goes under the bike!?





after 45minutes of fighting the siren was in





installed new tssm and antenna.

got pissed and stop stopped taking pictures. i will marry the tssm to the ECM later. fk this bike for right now


update 1:
turned on a christmas tree. WTF?:
looks like solution is here:
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...m-trouble.html


update 2:
set pin using this- https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...ml#post8508455
activated using this- http://www.harley-performance.com/password-learn.html

----according to the local dealer... this isn't possible with a used tssm, lol. gtfoh. i asked them to install and program fobs and they said it can't be done and the tssm was paired to the old bike and i would need to buy a new one. in retrospect i'm glad they didn't do the install... it would have been expensive. it took me 3 hours. would have probably taken them 2 hours @$90.... 180... no

what? "can't"? i hate "can't", usually a wrong answer.... and it was...

after all of the above, i took the bike back to the dealer to have the fobs paired to the tssm. they did it free. party!


little victories..

polished up nasty old slider to better match the brand new one. not 100% there but, life goes on. should have gone out to 1500 grit sand paper instead of stopping at 1000. too late. don't care

I didn't forget you. I'll do it tomorrow. I rinsed/degreased it all off and sat it outside the garage. Had to clear the air of the fumes. Was tired of being Bane in there.
