Mike and Russ tell me a little more cut to fit and the project is back on track...

 

I saw that you were to be inundated today, Mick.

Well, I'm off to the airport, wish me luck. Which means being offered $10,000 to take a different flight.

 

The King lives!

 

Outstanding. Was the fix as you suspected?

 

Well actually, and this is a little embarassakin', when I installed the new seat I evidently partially disconnected the computer on the damn thing. I guess it wasn't plugged in very well (up to the locking point) and I pulled it out just enough to have every old Harley guy at the shop puzzled about it.


When I got there this morning all the mechanics and a few guys from the club were standing around it like they were giving it last rites and I thought "Oh F...!"


The shop owner's computer was hooked to it and they were all scratching their heads. It was throwing a **** load of codes, so I just told them to see what they could do and I left. Got a call a while ago, and went to get it. One of the old guys there reached over and pulled on the plug and it just popped out. Plugged it back up and all was good.



Almost as bad as me accidentally hitting the kill switch on Ol' Blue while riding Skyline Drive and not being able to figger out why she died on me until I noticed it was in the off position after going over wires and everything else I could think of.


Click. Vroom! Roll on dumbass!

 

hahaha....glad it was not a costly, in terms of dollars not ego, fix.

Give it about a week and the story of some dumbass unplugging a connector will make its way back to you.

 

I think the guys at the shop were actually more embarrassed at not checking connections than I was. I was just relieved!

 

good deal Tracy! Had a seat deal one. I installed the seat on my breather by pass hose. Took a while to figure out why the oil cap kept blowing off on my new motor. I was fearing the worst!

 

Lou, I'd consider that a seat of the pants diagnosis.
