Re: What are these please

For the electrical plug by differential, I'd guess that it is for the VSS ring inside, which is not being used.
As for that tank by your cross member, it looks like there is a hose connected to it, where does the other end of that hose go ? Craig H.

TRANSMISSION COOLER & ECT.

After reading all the responses from Knockdolian's OP beginning on 09/06/2016, I thought I'd interject my thoughts. My discussion can relate to both bikes & trikes. I am so sorry that every one of these pics posted sideways, and I don't know how to correct ? - First off lets address "unprot...

Re: Now closed on Mondays

As TXscooterguy stated about Curtis in TX., "He is a service center". IMHO, as these dealer's contracts come up for renewal with the BH factory, they are opting out of being a full dealership ! They choose to go the way of being a "service center" instead. This way they don't hav...

Re: Headlight modulators and CAN-Bus.

You are good to go Dennis. Your CAN-Bus comm. wiring is only between your instruments, ECM and TCM. Headlight power is off a relay. I run the Kisan Technologies # P115W-S model. Personally Dennis, I would not ride without one, and have used them on most all past bikes. They pretty much eliminate tho...

Re: Rain umbrella for my air intake.

Hi Dennis, clearance between the top of your air filter and the bottom of the lower triple tree could be an issue ? But by loosening the band clamps, there should be plenty of downward movement between filter to snorkel and snorkel to MAF inlet. My thoughts Dennis, is to build a light gage metal cov...

UPGRADING CURRENT LS ECM SYSTEM

I am putting this out here for all LS owners. I have heard a suggestion, of considering an "upgrade" to the new Holly system, on my 2014 57 Chevy 485 trike ! Is this even a cost effective consideration ? New tank & paint, new wiring harness, the Holly EFI system and what else am I miss...

Mikie v and anyone with an LS version trike. I had said in my initial response to Mike, that an air gap far in excess of the factory's 0.004" was required ! The 40 tooth reluctor ring is not running concentric or true. I had found around 0.020" run out on mine ! And I found this "only...

Re: Help needed

Mike, it definitely sounds like computer / sensor related, with the VSS (vech. speed sensor) most likely the issue ! The very symptoms that you are relating, can ALL be caused by a VSS issue ! The VSS and it's 40 tooth (40 pulses per revolution) reluctor ring are mounted on a bracket at the differen...
