Default Tip sensor Bypass

Did a Frankenstien Trike conversion on a 2014 Fatboy, does anyone know how to bypass or remove the TIP sensor.

Thanks
Mike

Congratulations on your first post to HDF, welcome to the forum. Have the dealer switch off the function with the Digital Tech.

How it is done depends on the year. A good indy with the tech tools can shut many of them off. best route of some trikes is to use the relocate but again depends on the year of the bike.
You do not really shut the BAS off. When it is switched to trike mode or sidecar it tells BCM to look for a different source. If it does not find one it will disable the current one . But depending on year throw a harmless code. .
Many dealers will refuse to make the change for you.
