Default Frustrated new member

Hello all. New to your forum. Have a 2002 1200 XLH, trying to set up my way! Nothing major, SE slip ons, RamFlo air cleaner, rejetted, stage 1 complete. Started riding way back in 1968 on a Honda S-90. Rode street bikes until an accident in 1972 took the enjoyment out of that. Started dirt riding and ended up racing enduros and hare scrambles. Mostly Husky's. Last new bike was 84 Husky 250WR. Sold that in late 80's and have been without until 2006. Die hard Spartan, Die hard Sportster enthusiast, and bike lover at heart!
Right now trying to install an HD garage door opener and having some difficulties. So I'm here to see if I can pick someone's mind!!
