Hey guys encountering a small annoyance. I keep my display on the time but lately when I start my Lo it goes to the odometer. I've noticed if I'm starting warm and it fires up right away my setting stays the same but if it has to crank over a couple times on a cold start before firing it defaults to the odometer. Perhaps my battery is getting weak and it's having to crank longer now to fire up? Anyone else have this issue?

Mine has always done that. I think like you said, starting cold pulls so much amperage that there's nothing left for that split second for the memory settings....

That is exactly the thing I want to do to my bike! Very nice set up Jason!! So I just found this thread the other day, and have spent hours looking so far. Dave your set-up is awesome! I bought last year; a 2011 FLSTFB in vivid black on denim on brushed aluminum. Got my bike at Scottsdale Harley and this bike had my name all over it. I originally wanted a dyna wide glide, but this bike wanted me. This is my first harley and I love it. My story is simple I fell in love with Harley's when I was 9 yrs old, my sister came home with a new BF from Michigan and he had a 57' panhead chopper that was all chrome except the tank and fenders, so I am 53 and got my first Harley a 2011 Fat Boy Lo!
