    Trailer Wiring Isolator?

    I'm looking to add a hitch to my 2009 Classic. I have the hitch ordered and am looking to figure out the wiring. I've been seeing that an isolator is recommended. Does anyone know if there is a recommended harness or can point me in the right direction for an isolator that I can wire in to make...

    Rear brake rotor replacement

    I'm prepping to swap out the rear brake rotor on my '09. The service manual makes it look pretty straightforward, but I'm not a mechanic by any means, so I'm wondering if there's anything I should be watching out for that will make it more difficult than it has to be. Also, the manual says to...

    Help: Signals, horn, brake gone

    Need help because I do not know electrical. My ignition finally crapped out on my 2009 Classic so I went with a keyless bypass. (Digital Guard Dog) Worked fine for a week then died. A friend and I traced it to a bad connector in the new kit and at the advice of DGD we cut the connector out and...

    Suddenly dead

    Please help the non-technical-minded numpty. I rode to work and back today, then to a meeting and home this evening without any incidents. When I shut it off after getting home, I accidentally turned the key the extra click to the parking lights, but noticed that they didn't come on. Flipped...

    Fresh Paint

    My '09 Classic was looking a bit tired so I figured it was time to freshen it up; Got rid of the taillight and filled in the bucket, then finished it with fiberglass (while learning how to do fiberglass work). Got it invisible without using any body filler! Ditched all the crap on the back to...

    Heated grips options

    Hey all. It's finally time to replace the garbage OEM heated grips on my '09 Classic and I'm trying to figure out my options. All I can find to fit are the stock ones whose life cycle seems to be a few minutes, or the Oxfords that I don't think will work with my BrakeAway throttle lock. Anyone...

    Help! - Bar End Mirrors

    Because I'm a genius, I like to spend my money on things before finding out if they work. (It's so much more exciting that way!) :whitstling: I've finally decided to do away wit the stock Mickey Mouse ears that came on my '09 Classic, and got myself a set of Napoleon bar ends. They're the ones...

    Help! Bike cranks once but won't start.

    Not sure what's going on with the Roc. Ran fine a few weeks ago when I last rode it, but this past Saturday it wouldn't start. Turn key, wait for the sweep and the prime, hit the starter, it cranks over once on the starter and then goes back to the sweep and prime. 4 attempts at this and the 2...

    Screaming Banshee horn upgrade

    Anyone tried out this horn? I just came across it and it seems like a brilliant idea. You still have your little stock horn if you just want to beep at somebody, but if you hold it down for 1/2 a second, you have the stock horn plus a pulsing 139 dB air horn and flashing high beams. A little...

    Forks

    I've noticed a slight leak coming from my left fork seal so it's looking like I've got a job to do. Question is, how big a job am I looking at? Anybody done a how-to? Admittedly, I'm not much of a wrench, but I'm also remarkably cheap so I'd rather do the job myself if possible.

    Warning - Viking Bags

    About three and a half months ago I ordered a set of bags from Viking Bags after confirming with their customer service that they would fit the "unique" setup of the Rocket. They seemed very helpful in answering my questions about the bags and fitment, as well as detailing how to get them...

    RocketBoat

    OK, more like a Rocket submarine. Last night I got caught out when Calgary was hit by a massive thunderstorm that flooded half the city. A lot of that half was between me and home. A smart man would have found a place to hunker down and wait it out, but I'm stubborn and I wanted to go home. In...

    Mounting lower deflectors

    Am I really this dumb? This should be a nothing install and I just con't figure it out. Took them to the dealer and they couldn't figure it out. Ordered another set and they're the same. The bracket has a lip at both tips (left red circle), making it so that they won't line up or tighten...

    Alarm install question

    I'm putting a Scorpio i900 on my '09 Classic tomorrow and was wondering if anyone knows if there's a way to use the stock alarm light in the gauge with an after market alarm? Also, anybody have anything to add to this (fantastic!) post that a not-too-tech-savvy could benefit from...

    Bigger difference

    So I've got a bit stashed away and I'm looking to do something about the buffeting on the highway, but I'm not sure what will make the bigger difference; taller windshield (i.e. a clearview) or the lowers. Any word from the voices of experience?

    Preload adjustment

    Maybe I'm just too dumb for this, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to adjust the proload on the rear shocks. I followed the directions in the handbook, but the tool just spins in the hole. Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong? My wife's built like Olive Oyl and I almost...

    New Captain in Calgary

    Been lurking for the last few months and love this forum! The beast arrived just in time for the ice to melt, and I picked up my Classic this afternoon. Scared as hell when I first put her into gear (never ridden anything over 900cc) but 100 kms and a very jealous social circle later, I'm sure...
