Make sure they are tight. Had to have my tank replaced due to small blemish when it was delivered. Had the very same problem. Everything seemed fine except no "pre flight" and no start. Would turn over but not start.

Not sure which harness was not in tight, but that was what the issue was. Also make sure you get those connections tight. They did not when I took my bike home and one of them disconnected and stopped me. Dealer really felt bad and made it worth my while

Default Done.....for now.

It's been a little bit since I've been on here. I am done throwing money at the bike.....at least for this year (wife says so). so I have attached the latest picture. I know this doesn't even compare to some of the AWESOME rides in this forum..... but I'm pretty proud.

I bought my bike pre-modded, put up a pic... so I'm done! I may do some tweaking after a while but she rides, feels and handles pretty dang good for the time being.

I read this thread just to see if there's anything that catches my eye...

Anyone have trouble getting a lift underneath a Lo before?? I bought a lift from Pep Boys a few weeks ago for my truck, but it's advertised as a motorcycle lift also.. this is it.. a Powerbuilt triple lift.

http://www.alltradetools.com/introdu...ple-lift-jack/

Problem is the bastard doesn't even fit underneath the bike... it stops at the frame, even when the bike is upright off it's foot rest. Are most bike lifts like this for the lo?? I wouldn't think there would be such a problem with "clearence" on this...

two other lifts I've been looking at are the Pitbull...

and the J&S Big Wheel...

They did still have that one.. I chose the 3-in-1 instead because I wanted to lift my truck also (which thankfully it does like a champ) .. I had no idea it wouldn't fit under the bike though. I ended up ordering a J&S Big Wheel today instead... expensive, but I've had my eye on getting one of those for a year now.
