PODCAST-New for Harley-Davison's 2015 line up is a new category of bikes called "Harley-Davidson Street". To fill that category are two new bikes, the 750 and the 500, both liquid cooled. The 750 has a 46 cubic inch motor while the 500 has
\xa0a 30 cubic inch V-Twin Revolution X motor. Further, these motors are a 60-degree V-Twin with chain-driven single overhead cams and four-valves per cylinder. All is finished off with a 2-into-1 upswept exhaust.\xa0Here is a video and all the specs for that new bike.
As we head into fall don't forget to check you motorcycle's tire pressure, both front and back. It is likely that with temperature changes you may have lost about 5 psi, as Lurch and I did. It can be tough on some models of motorcycles to get at the valve stems with a standard tire gauge. We happened to be in town and came across this handy little digital tire pressure gauge that will fit into tight places.
Harley-Davidson Boom!\u2122 Box Software Update 1.18.1Harley-Davidson and Harman Kardon are running around like chickens with their heads cut off after the failure of the release of software version 1.18.1. It actually caused more problems than it fixed. My advice is not to update any software until Harley comes out with an even newer update version. I can't guarantee that will fix much either, but we can hope. Harley-Davidson and Harman Kardon are trying to avoid a massive recall on the Boom!\u2122 Box system and loosing customers respect & support daily by remaining silent on the huge issues. Harley has even taken down the ability to download any new software versions on their website. I made a\xa0simple link\xa0for everyone to keep checking back to see when they have new software available.

Our Tech Gripper Cell Phone Motorcycle Mount Affiliate Link:I just bought your video on heated grip install and it is worth every penny. Although your video is on an 2014 my bike is an 2013 Flhtcu but many things are the same except in the fuse box area. Also your update on Lerches 2008 when you talk about where to wire that plug, that plug is hot already. And makes for an easy hook up to the red wire from the heated grip. All in all Thanks again and I will be watching you in the future.
I have a 2015 Street Glide CVO with wiring inside the bars. Before I buy your video I need to know if you run all of the wires inside the bars?
Be careful bro for sure. Even our local dealership mechanics get confused between the years and different heated grip kits until they get it in hand. I have a very good relationship with them and they tell me a lot. Because some mechanics have installed on past models inside the bars that is not the case for the 2014 and above. Many mechanics have not even seen the new kit and procedures. The bikes are very new. Right side is internal. Left side is external, but the way Lurch and I did it, you can't even tell. I could run them through my bars too, but modifications outside Harley's recommendations would have to be made. Guarantee the dealer would have to modify to make that happen on a 2015. They usually don't do that, because then the job would not fall under warranty.
Heated grips installed. Before I watched your video, I was more than confused with the factory instructions. After I watched your video, the install couldn't have been any easier. Thanx a lot. Donnie, 2014 street glide.
Hi. Came across your site when searching out a question about the above bike. I'm a new rider and looking at buying my first bike. I'm 6'1" at 245 lbs and have been told to start on something in the 500 cc range. Was actually looking for a Kawasaki Vulcan 500 but then my daughter said to me "Dad, if you really end up liking it, go bigger from the start" I mulled this over after thinking of another friend that essentially did the same thing, but he just went out and bought a 1600 cc for the get go! I don't think I want to go that big, but would a 900 cc be a good purchase to start with? Do you have any how to videos on Kawasaki maintenance? I very easily found the answer I was looking for here (belt drive vs. chain drive) and it set my mind to ease. I have a line on a very low mileage 900 cc Vulcan for a really good price. Just wondering your thoughts on this bike.
Thanks for sending your question. You\u2019re a good sized guy and will quickly outgrow a 500cc bike. I think you\u2019re right. The 900cc Vulcan will be a better fit for you. I bet you can ride that bike for a long time. My interment research showed favorable results for the Vulcan 900. It\u2019s a good looking bike and it sounds like you have a line on a good one. I say buy it! Nothing beats getting out on the road and having your knees in the breeze. We unfortunately don\u2019t have any Kawasaki maintenance videos at this time. Hopefully we can get some done in the future. We just need to get our hands on some metric bikes.
