Re: An electrical question for a 2015 trike.

Interesting about that disable switch in the trunk, is that factory installed ? Use a VOM and check it's terminal(s), I'm thinking that you will find the constant 12 vdc that you are looking for, and right in the place that you need it. As far as an accessory 12 vdc source, you could come off the po...

Re: Group Buy on LS 485 Tune

I am interested also but I am a little confused. Brian had told me that it would be one price if you keep your old ECU and a different price if you send it in to him. Hope this is enough people to get a better price. BHM, I am thinking that Brian has found it easier to "not deal with" our...

Re: IMPORTANT - FOR LS-3 485 HP OWNERS ONLY

Yes Pat, your described "dead gage" thing when turning "key on" followed by the kill sw. has been an issue for a while now, since the LSx introduction I presume. And this problem occurs upon start-up not shut down, so still shut down as we have discussed here. First off, when you...

NOTICE: If you or someone you know has this engine config. in your Boss Hoss cycle or trike, please pay attention to what I have to say here. If you have ANY "run ability issues", ( like dying, stumbling, rich smell on start-up, surging and the like), the most probable cause is your ECM's ...

Hi Chris, if not already, WELCOME to our family here. Please "Do Not" connect to any wires under your dash. The OEM gages communicate VIA CAN Bus protocol, you don't want to mess with those Comm. lines. I'm thinking that you will need to purchase Autometer's p/n: 9117 Tach RPM Signal Adapt...

Re: UPDATE ON LS-3 485 ECM TUNE

Thanks Brian, for clarifying your current standing with the factory. That's disappointing to me, as you have really got my trike's 485 hp. program dialed in perfectly ! The whole precedent behind donating my trike to Boss Hoss (Ricky), was to prefect their shitty program, both for myself and others ...

Hi Tim, our ECM is a standard GM E-67 unit. But before you run out and spend a few hundred dollars, there is more to this issue and here is what I know. The ECM run ability issues "IS A BOSS HOSS PROBLEM, PERIOD", and could pose the risk of injury or death, under the right (wrong) circumst...

I flat can't figure out how too ! In Avatar, it says the picture has too many pixels. In signature, it just doesn't copy. I'm trying to bring a picture over from my laptop's photo gallery. Any ideas ? Note: I am extremely computer illiterate. Thanks, Craig H.

Re: Check your throttle cable!!!

And Barnett is who BH gets their cables from, at least for the Joker controls I know. I had Mark (there) build me a longer throttle cable (80") when I moved the APPS (acc. pedal position SW.) back and out from under the gas tank.

Re: Boss Hoss Fuel Injection Issues resolved

Slight state of confusion on my part, I need to be plumbed up here! I was under the impression that Uncle Ricky brought Brian Macey in to design and implement the 2017 LS3 Holley EFI ? So at what time frame did Mike get involved ? Thanks for your replies, Craig H.

Joker Machine - front master cylinder

While flushing my trike's front brakes with fresh DOT-5, I found that the piston/plunger assembly will stick when it is pushed all the way in ! So I want to replace it. 1. What size bore does this front brake m/c have ? 2. How do I remove the plunger ? 3. Is there a "C" clip involved ? Tha...

I'm not much of a motor head, as compared to the majority here ! I had to replace a broken upper right motor mount last summer.

Re: Fi for a 502 BB

Here is what I would do Barry. Give Brian Macey at Arizona Boss Hoss / Horse Power Connections / The EFI Store in Lake Havasu a call. He does this for a living ! Store # (928)706-6112, Brian's cell # (360)280-6112. If you are going to do this Barry, might as well do it right from the get to ! Craig H.
