Hey, great video what kit did you use for the Road King to fit with the windshield? I have a 2018 Road King special and can’t seem to find a kit that fits that bike also with the buckets bar and the buckets for the lights thank you.
It’s just a eBay kit. Nothing special.

I've fitted this exact tacho to a 2004 Sportster and intermittently it flicks to double rpm. Mostly reads correct but then sometimes reads double. I soldered to the coil wires and used the diode and resistor circuit. My earth wire is to the earth on the lighting harness for the pilot bulb. Any idea what could be wrong?
Has it always done that flickering? If it just started it might be the diode or resistor going bad.
@@CarlRecktenwaldJr I have only just fitted the tacho so everything is new. It was fine for a few miles then I noticed it would sometimes read correct and sometimes double rpm. I think maybe the resistors are letting some intermittent continuity between the two coil wires making the tach behave like it has two dual fire coils connected. What are the resistors for? Could I just run with the diodes?
So now I've tried using just the diodes without the resistors but no reading at all on the taco. I refitted a pair of 100k resistors across the diodes and tried again. Up to now its reading what seems like correctly, but may be a bit low. I'll see how it goes when I ride it again...... I read on one of the forums that the crank position sensor can trick the ecu into behaving like a dual fire on start up if the ecu doesn't read it correctly. Don't think there will be a cure for that.
Dude! U da man! I’m building a 129ci, and one of the things I dreaded the most was mounting my carbon fiber heat deflectors.

Good morning Thanks for the very useful video I installed the same set on my bike, but the light is a little high angled. Do you have any idea to push it down ?
I though there was a nut on the bottom where the wires goes through you can loosen and then adjust the angle of the light.
Where can i purchase the quick connection wires?
I purchased the connectors and pins from digikey and made them myself.

Hi, looks pretty good. Would help to know the thread dimensions & length of the bolt you change on the motor block/oil output on the motorside. / It is an adapter from 1/8NPT or 1/4 NPT to Dash 4 ??? Many thanks and nice greetings from Germany.
Part number is 10176 from vibrant. It’s a -3an to 1/4”npt. I believe the hose is the -3 and the block is 1/4”. www.summitracing.com/parts/vpe-10176

how long is the oil line
I am guessing about 18 inches.
looks like a good job

I just found this video after discovering just how MUCH RF noise this thing produces! It's absolutely BLASTING RF through the house wiring. Not exactly built with RF EMI filtering. I'm looking for the old one with a normal transformer, as it is dead quiet. Sadly no solution to the newer one's to be found.
Yeah the new ones are California compliant and have a switching transformer. I like my old one better
Pretty cool, though I have to say, the horn on that locomotive kinda sucks. I can't remember, but the OEM controller - that's pre-TMCC, right?
Yes it is pre TMCC. Side note. That set is really more sentimental than any thing else.
Hi there great video... just had a couple of questions if that's ok... 1. The x2 cables that you connected the Resistor and Diod to, are they power supply to Ignition Coil Front and Rear? 2. The Ground wire that you mentioned which is linked to the back of bolt that passes through the Ignition Coil Mount, I presume the other end of this cable is coming from Tachometer? I have a 2013 XL883L Sportster and am looking to install a LCD Digital Multifunctional Speedometer from China...the interesting thing is that on the Speedometer you have to select the number of Cylinders on the Bike? Im from London, UK any advice would be much appreciated before i get stuck into this project... Thanks and season greetings...😊

My Battery Tender Junior Smart Battery Charger is not charging even though it still shows that everything is fine. If I disconnect one of the charging lines, the LED indicator would flash red light indicating it's not hooked up properly. If all lines are hooked up correctly it shows charging with a solid red indicator. But the charge never turned green, or flashing green, even after a week on an originally 75% charged battery showing 12.45V from the beginning. I hooked up a multimeter and it shows 0 charging current. Any idea on what may be wrong with the unit?
I am going to guess the transistor or mosfet. Not sure what one is in it. Since It can see the battery it just can’t apply the voltage from the transformer.
@@CarlRecktenwaldJr There is a BD438 PNP Transistor screwed to the heat sink covered with heat gel.
What size thread is the carb studs and the length?
Any other exhaust or engine mods with the sound test? They look a little short, are those extended bags?
Yes extended bags no other mods at that point.
It seems that this would have been easier just to use an Arduino to do the AC chopping needed for horn and bell as well as throttling.
At that time that was well above my arduino knowledge. But a great idea.
Yep, we all live and learn. I tried it first with 555 timers, but the Arduino we much easier.@@CarlRecktenwaldJr
This was awesome. Great video. Worked perfectly
Hi Carl, I am looking for a cheap way to charge my motorcycle by powering the Battery Tender with an old 12v car battery, rather than 120VAC. I know the "Optimate TM-500" is a DC to DC charger that will do this, but it costs over $100, but these battery tenders are cheap. Based on your teardown, is there any area on this board where I could supply a 12.5V (fused) from the old car battery to make a DIY DC to DC charger? Do you know what the output voltage of the transformer is? Thanks!
I think the output of the transformer is around 18 volts ac. I don’t see how an old car battery would works as the tender voltage starts at about 14 volts dc and then maintains at about 13.5. You would need some kind of booster circuit.
FYI 2017 and below frames do not have the threaded hole so u have to use the clip 2018 and up bikes have the hole threaded
Ah. That’s good to know.
My 17 rk has the threaded hole.
What kind of studs did you get?
They are carb studs. one side is 5/16-18 and the other side is 5/16-24, I got them 1 3/4 long. I searched ebay with this (1-3/4" Long Carb Stud Carburator Studs 1.75" Holley Edelbrock)
Any idea what size diameter is the oil line? I want to make my own bracket in a different location. I ordered the gauge, just need to order the oil line and fittings. Any idea on the fittings sizes? Thanks in advance!
The adapter packages reads. -3an to 1/4” npt. So block must be 1/4 and the gauge is -3an. Part number 10176 from vibrant. Also a number of 03-2019.
What and where can I get the resister and diode? This part is confusing to me.
I put these on my Indian Challenger. I had the Cobra Scallop slip ons. These are a bit louder, but a noticeable deeper throaty tone. What I like about the neighbor haters is that they are not mid life crisis I am compensating for something loud. For me these are perfect.
Terrible "how to" video. Sorry.
I have a BTJR from 2007 and a BTJR from 2013. The one from 2007 is very heavy and the one from 2013 is very light. I wrote an email to Deltran asking them why one was heavier than the other and their response was "The older unit has a transformer in it and the newer one does not." "The newer unit is more efficient and can be used in Oregon and California". That's exactly what they told me🤷🏻♂️. So if the older one is heavier because it uses a transformer, then what does the lighter one use? Magic? Witchcraft?🤔🤷🏻♂️
The new one has to have a switching power supply.
Seeing that this video is almost 20 years old, is this still the best way to fix these? I have 2 that have green lights and are not responding to TMCC. I also have the first generation TMCC ZW that has the same issue. My Trainmaster is working because it still is able to control the TMCC engines. I think my 180w power brick is taking them out.
@@CarlRecktenwaldJr
great video, I am not able to locate the IRF540N in DigiKey. Is that part still avalible?

А можно минуту помолчать и дать послушать как он работает, м?
I just used some 3M 30lb double sided tape and stuck it up in there real good. It’s not falling off.
That’s a good idea.
The heat from the motor doesn't soften the tape?
Nobody will not be taking these apart like you did. It would have been nice to inform us on how or what this device can be used and on what. I have a Toyota Tacoma which I don't use much during winter. At times the battery goes dead and need to quick charge it. Would you recommend this product on pick ups?
@@CarlRecktenwaldJr thanks Reck.
Hello sir. I saw your video on fuelpak fp3 teardown. I got question about screamin eagle super tuner. Mind share your email? Need something your opinion. Thank you.
I have never used the super turner. Not sure I would be any help.
@@CarlRecktenwaldJr I already you an email. Maybe you can have a look. 🙂
Also, why not de pin the black wire out of the white molex connector? I notice you just have it coiled around the red
I can’t remember why I did not de pin it. I might not have had the tools to de pin at that time.
Very cool, I’m wanting to keep my turn signals on the handlebars where they are (they’re LED custom dynamics), I got the parts that NightKing and RTCalifornia showed in their videos but I was looking for a vid on how to wire up the switch, I think this should help me a lot. Your pic of the service manual shows 2 4 pin connections but the right signal wire is a 6 pin connection, is that what I’m gathering? I’m a few hundred miles from my bike right now so I can’t go look at it (still waiting on my factory service manual to be delivered)
Yes. One side is a pin and the other is a six pin with 4 wires.
@@CarlRecktenwaldJr cool I was able to dig into it and figure everything out. It looks like that ground wire would be for if the toggle switch was a backlit switch, so not used in our case.
Ah that makes sense
You mentioned that you could not use the plug you bought because the incandescent turn signal light was pulling power from the LED turn signal. Would it work if the turn signals on the bars were LED also? That plug you bought doesn't look like the one from the turn signals.
They should. I was trying to run both the led turn and the incandescent turns and that did not work as the led did not pull enough.
To make the Iron get hotter, turn the Left potentiometer on the board counter clockwise. This tricks it into thinking the iron is not as hot as its supposed to be so it heats it up more (even though the readout will still max at 842, the tip will get significantly hotter than before).
Thanks so must this was a very helpful video
