As you can see in the photo, it's an RV resort, and in an RV resort, especially a small one like this, everyone knows everyone else, and any strangers or unusual activities are quickly noted.

And, Texans don't call 911. They call on Smith & Wesson. And, by the way, the frontier law that says you hang horse thieves has never been rescinded.

When we lived even further out of the city, an 85 year old lady my wife met at a 4H event explained patiently to my wife that "We don't call the sherif when there's trouble. Takes too long for the deputies to get here. You need to be able to handle a shotgun and rifle, dear."

Well here is a good update....
I do have a well equiped garage that I restore old bikes as a hobby, so it's not my first rodeo.

If you ever venture in the land of ECM discovery on the breakout, have plenty of patients, bench space and tools.

I did the Daytona Twin Tec tuner due to my many years success with them on carbed bikes. Unfortunately once completed the speedo didn't work, nor the blinker cancelling feture, nor the gear indicator on the RPM screen. But the LED on the speedo worked other wise.

I was fortunate to relocate the tuner under the seat so when things didn't go well I cut all the wires and spliced them without having to do the rear tire thing again.

Unfortunately the ECM will have to be re-visited to cure the wiring issue.
Guess another tuner will be in my future.


Other than that everyone have a great holliday weekend.

 

removing the fender would be a whole lot easier than removing the tire. Then you have "easy" access to the splash guard and ecm cover. I've had the ecm out of my Rocker a couple times, never took the tire off.

 

That's really interesting. My HD dealership told me that the wheel HAS to come off the Breakout to add that siren to the ECM. Is the Rocker significantly different in the frame / fender / splashguard area? Or, does the HD dealer simply regard removing the rear wheel as easier for some reason than removing the rear fender?

Put my wheels back on today with the 250 rear tire.

 

From the Service Manual:
1. Install the Siren
2. connect the connector
3. Push the ECM panel forward & engage the latch
4. Install the splash guard
5. Install rear wheel
6. install main fuse

...so yes, the rear wheel comes off according to the manual.

 

Holy crap!... What kind of clearances does that have? It looks like you shoe-horned that sucker in!

 

Fits well. No clearance issues.

 

What tire is that 24V ? Dunlop Elite ?
