on my 2018 fb there is a 30mm gap between the board and brake lever. I'll try to bend it and fit o'size pedal before I spend $200 on another. Also I fitted a catch can as there was oil all over inside of the throttle body. cheers.

I have the trask air filter and ya it sticks out a bit more than the stock but you’re right, floorboards kinda helps, but I also went with the oversized brake pedal which really helps deal with a bigger air filter.

I couldn't help but notice as you were showing your panel internals I couldn't see that your neutral is bonded to the ground buss. You might want to educate yourself on that and check those points out. You created a floating neutral at the generator by unbonding it and your house panel appears it wasn't bonded either. Just look into it you'll be glad you did. Do not create a parallel ground either by bonding both sides, home and generator.

You know makes me wonder how many of these house fires that are being caused by so-called faulty 1450 receptacles charging electric vehicles are actually caused by loose connections at the receptacle. How many of these electricians are actually using torque wrenches. My generator power cord plug-end calls for 75 inch pounds. It's dang hard to get it that tight with a screwdriver

Thanks for sharing

I have a 2006 xlc 1200, pearl silver. Ton of chrome. Love it!

Great video glad you went through the steps in the detail you did. Totally doable job for the DIY mechanic

Been browsing around looking for someone that pretty much had the same generator as me so that I could verify that I’m unbonding the same generator correctly. And just when I thought I was done I saw the end of your video and I just had to click on the next link. What’s crazy is that I also have two of their exact same power strips and one of them is a little burnt and the red led light for wire fault was on, but everything else even the outlet it was connected to was fine and it’s still working so I decided to keep the power strip and put in storage till I need it later. So now I’m going back into storage and I’m searching for that power strip and I’m dumping that and any other power strip that’s not working correctly. Thank you.

I bet that cabel vibrated apart from 20 yrs of service.

That ground-neutral bond in the generator probably saves lives and property - even if it's not optimal. In other videos, that ground-neutral bond caused mini-splits to die (control boards fried)

I think in your, USA, situation that " Bonding" is misleading. AFAK you have 2x120V 60Hz. ( again misleading ) . In actuality what you have is " centre tapped 240V AC". This means that , as it is AC, when one "hot" leg is high ( plus 120V) the other is low minus 120V). The difference between them is therefore 240V, and reverses, with a sinusoidal waveform, 60x a second. IF YOU REMOVE the centre tap there will still be 240VAC between the 2 "hot" legs. A 120V appliance cannot make its return through the, centre tapped neutral, bonded, BUT if another device is connected to the other hot, say a kettle, the first load will be connected to the second hot via the kettle. This works IF both appliances are identical, the midpoint is effectively zero V / ground bonded. HOWEVER in the case of lightbulb & kettle the midpoint is probably around 100V opposite polarity to the lamp hot ! Your surge protector won't like that as it is continuous, not a surge, and the lightbulb will be very bright at 220V, it will probably blow. Pls feel free to comment.

Thanks for clear steps. I’ve heard others hook it up to a switch so you can switch easily. Thoughts on that? Also was thinking of throwing a few stickers on the 120 outlets saying neutral unbonded so anyone would at least try to look up what that means before plugging in an extension cord

Thanks for sharing your experience. This is great information for the rest of us out here who have generators.

Thanks for sharing this. Getting ready to replace the filter on my '09 Low Rider w/27,000 miles on it. Fortunately you can now purchase the set of 12 screws for about $18 from JP Cycles. I assume the silent part when you were reinstalling the assembly was the requisite cursing that typically accompanies work on our bikes, I'll be sure to let the expletives fly when I get to that part (if I haven't exhausted my supply before then).

Hello, Are you interested in testing products?

I love it

🤣👍👍

They are really nice bikes. I ended up getting a FatBoy 114. That Softail with the 114...hold on tight!

On my short list! Thanks for the video.

One of the worst things for electric service is to lose a neutral connection. It can happen anywhere between the pole, meter, or breaker panel. An aged or neglected system, storm damage, excessive corrosion, etc. can all be causes. The neutral is the return path for imbalanced loads on each side of the 120v circuits (loads are almost never balanced....turn on a toaster and it changes the balance hugely) so the side with the lesser load will take the brunt of over-voltage. I once repaired a neutral loss that occurred inside the service meter; it was a really old house and the aluminum ground/neutral corroded off the terminal. Most of the light bulbs blew and phone chargers and other small electronics caught fire. Fortunately, it didn't get worse.

Wow scary. That surge protector is looking like it's seen better days.

Good information to know, thank you! I read on a forum that the ITM HD2 becomes "married" to your bike and you cannot use it on other bikes. My wife also has a bike, same situation as you in the video. Did you have any problems or have to do something special to be able to use on both bikes?

Just wanted to know why the ST switch couldn't be made better to handle a 50 amp circuit

So your old generator bonded was working with that cord because the bond was completing the circuit. Thats scary stuff right there, to be around that generator with a load on it.

No. No. No. The ground conductor should NEVER be carrying current under normal conditions. The grounded conductor, i.e. the neutral only carries the imbalance between the two un-grounded conductors, i.e the hot wires. All gensets of the size you're using generate harmonic frequencies that will KILL electronics. UPSs in particular. MOVs can't handle harmonic frequencies either. Bonding your genset helps quiet the harmonics. There is no way to "shift" the voltage to one hot leg or the other without transformers. There's no way to "shift" the genset out of phase either. Harmonics killed your electronics. Period.

When the power goes out, I shut off the main and use my engine drive welder 220volt to power the panel. There is no need to unhook any ground or wear tin foil hat. Use 220v stove plug 2 hots 1 neutral 1 ground. Never had a problem. Also, the welder has another external ground to connect to the truck chassis or house ground. I think you took the generator out of its normal working condition and found out the hard way! Dont believe you tube electricians all the time.😂

An inline RV surge protector with led indicators will let you know if there is a problem before you plug into your panel.

Must be fun to try to do in a winter snow storm at night

At first I thought this was going to be really stupid and then I learned, anybody could have done this. Only people with egos would scoff,working with com ed I might have missed it if I didn't check with meter and load. Excellent learning video.

Well done video! I have the same machine with heated grips. Once they heat up one grip gets loose. What type of epoxy vdid you use?

Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Just be thankful that you get to be thankful.

We have a 110 year old bungalow we have been remodeling and modernizing and want to do this so bad. Thankfully all of our plumbing runs are easily exposable and accessible. I am curious however of the space needed for a manabloc and pex runs coming out in the maintenance room.

What do you do when your breaker box only has ground, with no neutral? You can't unbond your generator without it being ungrounded.

yes suspension and seat need to be changed; try 2 up riding; Why no reviews ? ?

actually funny looking with the tank so small. even if its not the gas tank; make it look beefy.

Thanks for posting! Good info

Thanks so much for the comment and the sub!

Who do I order from i have a 2014 dyna switch back

WoW! Never assume what you buy is built correctly. I build my own cables...Wow!

thanks. The added part where you showed the ground being re-established on the plugs after connecting to the house was very informative. Thanks. I subscribed!!

I’ve tried so many seats I’m done I give up

This at not be relevant to your situation. But Surge Protects are often the source of ignition in many fires. The explanation I’ve read is that the actual devices that protect can only withstand so many transient events. They short and ignite.

Wow! Had sort of a similar-ish thing happen nearby lightning we suspect wasn't home at the time came home to find most of our power strips zapped. Yeah supposedly they wear out overtime that's why you need the ones with the Protection LED assuming they're not just straight wired in. Ended up losing the power adapter for a TV converter box and not the CRT TV the cheap CRT TV! And about a dozen power strips. I salvaged the cords they were still good. I went through every power strip that I can opened and checked the inside. I have just started getting in the habit of anything that is Electrical is inspected before use after purchase. I picked up a inverter and discovered that they didn't slap the circuit board in properly so it was warped.

Thanks for your help. That will give me another item to check when I put in a generator.

Did it shake itself loose. ???? That is a Lot of years of shaking,,,,

I have a 14 roadking with se ventilator and what I did was get longer than stock breather bolts,drilled a hole on each side of the backing plate at the bottom below each breather bolt. Then I attached a hose to each nipple of the breather bolt and fed it through the hole I drilled in the backing plate to a tee and then to a catch can.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Great information. I am wondering if the constant vibrations of the generator ended up working the screws loose over the 20 years.

Is there something like this for the 2003 VRSCA with ABS?

going to have to invest in this tool, im currently going to school to become a Harley tech there is no way in hell i can afford the hd tech tool we used in class to bleed abs brakes. I doubt i can buy one anyways since I'm not a dealership, looks like this system works just fine.

So this happened to my house.. the neutral fell off the transformer. This transformer fed my home and my neighbors, we both had our AC on. My house was the first in line, and the first breaker down from the service connection went to the living room. Let’s just say it found a ground, arched through the outlet and caught the wall on fire. Been out of my home for almost 6 months as they do repairs and replace/paint everything
