    Assuming it's stock, my R/R is shunt, correct, and what I want is series, right?
    Right a Series RR. Don't forget to test the stator, chances are you probably will need a new one as well. Might as well start with a fresh new charging system.

      I still haven't done the hardest part - getting the battery post bolts to grab their nuts. (insert joke here).

      I usually put paper or cardboard under to lift them.

        A folded zip tie works well too.

          My PO (a flipper) told me he rode with the brights on all the time. I wonder if that shunts a tiny bit away from the battery. I'm just so excited to have two gassed, charged bikes ready to run at a moments notice.

          Anybody ever got deep scratches out of a face shield?

          Harley question: I don't notice any helmet lock, not even a hook for storage while parked.

          I bet they'll sell me something, though. That parts catalogue is their cash cow.

            Hers a battery lesson I learned from Honda. They were paying through the nose for battery warranties. Servicing a new battery.
            Fill with supplied acid.Leave caps OFF and let battery cool down from initial filling. 4-8hrs
            Charge with a Battery Tender with caps off until you get your green light. Let cool down again.
            Install caps and your ready to go. Cooling is important because excess heat will warp the very thin plates inside the battery. My last good, Yuasa AGM battery lasted me over 7 years. In winter, charge them once a month, never took one out in 20 years.

              Don't need one. Harley riders don't wear helmets....
              You DID find the 2 latches under the seat, right?

                Just did some shopping for another member earlier this evening, get your stator HERE and your R/R HERE.

                    Not a chance. It's a cheap shunt R/R.

                      The Caltric link was for the stator. Sorry, I did not realize that it did not filter down to that exact page.
