  1. Steering head torque check

    Had a Motor Trike conversion done on my 2016 Rocket and getting a terrible front-end wobble when accelerating. Motor Trike says I need to check the torque on the steering head top bolt and lower bolt. How big a job is it to do and is there any special tool needed?

    Flat head screw on radiator cap

    Stripped flat head screw on radiator cap, if I drill the head off, will the cap come off? Then I can unscrew the rest with pliers.

  6. Head light upgrade

    Just another thread and as you guest it I'm going to be busy in the new year, I have a 2012 Roadster and I want to upgrade from a H4 to LED headlights if possible and from what I can ascertain here in the UK is that if any vehicle originally has a H4 head light you cannot put a LED bulb into...

    Switching off head lights (or: where is this instrument panel connector)

    Hi all, On my 2016 Roadster I'd like to put a switch in the head lights ground wire, to be able to completely switch them off (instead of pulling the fuse every time using Tuneecu). Studying the wiring diagram, it must be the Black wire on pin 10 of the instrument panel connector. But: where do...

    Head gasket leak...

    Figured I'd ask the pros on here for a little advice. Noticed an oil weep behind the oil tank at the end of last season, finally got around to investigating and it looks like the head gasket. Not the cam cover gasket, that leaks on the exhaust side. Lol. No trace of oil above the head gasket and...

    Allen Head Hex Socket Size?

    When I bought my '06 Classic a few years ago the first thing I needed was a new front tire. I removed the wheel axle("spindle") to remove the wheel but I'll be darned if I can remember what I used on the axle or where it is now. Measuring flat to flat(is that right or should it be corner to...

    Removing cylinder head

    Hey there! Is it possible to remove the cylinder head with the camshafts still attached while the engine is still in the bike? Or asked differently: What MUST be removed from the bike/engine to lift the head? Thanks in advance!

    Clutch cable scratch my head.

    Some of you may have seen my last bit about clutch cables. That cable was too short. The previous owner had installed a different handlebar. The cable was very hard to pull the clutch lever. Plus he had moved the bottom cam off the alignment marks. I guess to get it to fit. I ordered a 6...

    Head shake on decel

    A funny thing happened to me yesterday. Throttle closed or nearly closed, in 2nd or 3rd, I took both hands off the bars as I was coming up on a red light. As I did this, the front end of my R3R, shook side to side. I've always associated this behavior with higher speeds. Does anyone on here have...
