NOW I'M FED UP
Could be lots of things and I would do the simple ones first as was suggested on checking the switch and wiring in the switch pack. Did someone install LED turn signals and not reprogram the BCM or install a load equalizers for them? Are there any pinched wires going to the turn signals? If...- HDUSA1

Let's see all the junk in your Trunk! Whats in that thang?
Wow, that's a nice looking trike! That's the first time I've seen a trunk like that, very unusual but very unique! And I like how the dual exhaust exits. That looks like a Mustang seat with studs & Concho's that I had on my Victory TC and Kingpin. Loved those seats, but was like sitting on a...- HDUSA1

Type of Fuel Question
Without engaging the hand lever spark retarder and low octane gas back then, that's how guys lost their arm when hand cranking an engine.- HDUSA1

140/70 18 front tire questions for a 2012
Know what you are going through…. Our daughter had a Chevy truck with a 5.3l V8 with AFM (active fuel management) that deactivates half the cylinders. It started acting up and I had to tear it down to fix it. Then a few thousand miles later the valve body in the transmission started leaking and...- HDUSA1

Old Boss Hoss bikes and trikes engine reliability
Springs and rings no. Would be more concerned with the rear main seal and intake gaskets leaking. If it has aluminum heads, block, water pump etc and the antifreeze hasn’t been kept changed, then I might be a bit concerned with internal corrosion, especially the freeze plugs. Unless it’s been...- HDUSA1

Holy Lugnuts
Trucks with a 140 spec should be 9/16”. If you look at AP bolts engineering tables, a 1/2” high strength grade 8 wheel stud has a maximum torque rating of 90 at 70% yield strength with lightly lubricated threads. If the threads are dry, the torque rating can be increased approximately 30% to...- HDUSA1

Loose Exhaust Clamps
Harley recommends new clamps anytime they are loosened up to remove or replace mufflers. I try to reuse them, sometimes they clamp tight again, sometimes they don’t. As Gorilla says, often times the slot needs widening, especially if they are aftermarket mufflers. An easy way to do it is with...- HDUSA1

Leather Bike Accessories
I forgot that I still had them, but was rummaging through a box yesterday of some old Victory parts and found the leathers for the levers on my old TC. Put some leather conditioner on them and they softened right up.- HDUSA1

Holy Lugnuts
I agree that torque seems awfully high on a 1/2” wheel stud. I’d be afraid of it either stripping the threads or stretching it to the plasticity point where it eventually breaks under a road impact. I don’t know if the attachment will be legible to read, but this is a torque table from...- HDUSA1

Thank you! Have been on his Facebook page for the last half hour checking out pics of customer bikes with his stuff on it. Would like to add a few things but not sure what yet to tastefully compliment the bike but not overpower it.- HDUSA1

Leather Bike Accessories
Was at a bike night at our local HD dealer and an old guy rolled in on an old Indian that immediately caught my eye. I knew it was different and before I could get over to look at it, the guy disappeared in to the crowd. Wish I had taken a picture of it, but he had it decked out with lots of...- HDUSA1

Floorboard relocation.
14TG said it well. Initially, I was going to make my own spacers with my lathe, but two of them are odd shaped. I went the Amazon route thinking I would save a few dollars. The spacers were fine but the hardware was junk even though the pictures showed differently. I wanted quality stainless...- HDUSA1

What's this noise?!
May not be your issue, but I had a similar squeal/galling noise I thought when letting off the throttle and also sitting idling on occasion. I had just put a cam, exhaust, and open style air cleaner with a factory cover adapter on and thought it was something related to the cam, lifters, new...- HDUSA1
