Starting over there is always more that it seems to do.
Get new bike home Done
The WHIM wireless interface on my old bike survived . Get it installed and the system flashed to work with new one Done.
My old wireless head sets were SENA S20 non HD branded they really never worked right with the interface but were ok at best for rider Passenger com. With Dealership being shut down big sale on everything in stock. they had a set of HD branded SENA S20 EVO for 1/2 the normal cost. So I just said here we go again and got them. This time throwing good money after bad worked out well.
Needed to cover a few of Payton's Doctor visit last week and this week so little chance to ride new one. Did find time to put about 140 mile son it. In some 28 -35 degree weather.

Vehicle Hold Control
[h=2]Vehicle Hold Control[/h] Is part of the RDRS system. In short VHC holds brake while stopped in gear if you want it to. this stops bike from rolling. Today for the first time i tested it a goo many times , it works.
For the hose that have not heard of it.
[h=2]Vehicle Hold Control (VHC)[/h]VHC applies and holds brake pressure when activated and prevents the motorcycle from rolling after the rider has released the brake controls. The primary function of VHC is to prevent the motorcycle from rolling when it is stopped – for example at a stop sign on a hill, in stop-and-go traffic on a slope, or on a steep decline out of a parking structure. VHC is designed to make it easier to ride away with confidence by minimizing the number of controls needed to pull away smoothly. The system applies brake pressure until the rider actuates the throttle and clutch to pull away. VHC may also be engaged when the motorcycle is stopped on a flat surface if the rider wants to maintain position without applying pressure to a brake control.
The rider activates VHC by momentarily applying extra pressure to either the front-brake hand lever or the rear-brake foot control after the motorcycle has come to a complete stop. If rider brakes very hard to a stop, and holds the brake pressure after stopping, VHC may also set without any added squeeze. A VHC indicator light will illuminate to confirm that the rider has activated VHC, and the ABS system will hold brake pressure after the rider releases the brake control. VHC is disengaged automatically as the rider begins to pull away from a stop, or if the rider applies and releases either brake control.
VHC is not to be used as a parking brake, and will disengage if the rider lowers the side stand (on models with a side-stand sensor, not a feature in all markets) or shifts into neutral on models without a side-stand sensor, or if the engine is turned off. In most situations after five minutes the indicator light will flash and the VHC will release if there is no rider action.
The VHC feature is standard on 2020 CVO and Police models and optional on all 2020 Touring models in the U.S. (except Electra Glide Standard models). VHC is not intended as a substitute for a parking brake in any situation.

Things are coming together to get sidecar on bike. Hannigan said come on down . Drop sidecar off Jan18-23rd they will have it cleaned up and painted by February.
Haul bike down then and it will be done. Their work is often planned well in advance. So this is a bit faster than expected .

How do you steer a bike with a sidecar? Does it still lean or do you actually steer it by turning the handlebars like a trike? I read a story where a mechanic took one for a test ride after working on it and drove right into an oncoming vehicle so I'm assuming it steers different than a regular bike.

Dang man! That's one "real" good lQQking ride, you got there! :yahoo::yahoo:

steers like a trike... although some are not a rigid setup so the bike leans an steers like a regular 2 wheeler
one big difference the sidecar can come off the ground in a right hand turn,,,

Thank you Payton and wife picked colors. The Gold sidecar in mounted on a wood frame now. If i can get some help it will be on trailer tomorrow.
Plan is to leave Sunday the 17th and run it down to Hannigan for paint. When it is done some time in February head down to have it mounted.

Left out Sunday to haul the sidecar down. 1,100 miles round trip. Spent the night and dropped it off Monday morning. Spent time going over what needs to be done to and the paint. I did not spend to much time looking at whet they had around this trip. If i had the trailer may not have come home empty. This link has some bike you may enjoy looking at.

Some information that may help others. BAS bank angle sensors also referred to as Tip. it has become an issue over the years as it must be disabled for a sidecar or trike.
in the past there have been work around . Different ways at different times . More and more ECU/BCM's are having access blocked .
Dealers have been tell those like us the BAS can not be disabled period. Even a big company that makes tools to change the ECM Daytona can not do it on any of the 2017 and newer bikes.
I purchased a Centurion from Techno research than can do it and proved it this morning. With a short learning curve set up new unit up and plugged it in to the bike. A bit more of a learning curve I was in the right place. Disabled the BAS. checked bike had no codes no warning light. Then went back and Enabled it all good.
