szurszewski Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Make sure you get a pic of what the covers look like when you get where you’re going, please. I’m curious to see how they hold up. 2 Link to comment

With all the rain we have be getting lately, it is easy to forget about other weather conditions like snow and (gasp) sunshine. 2 Link to comment

RandyShields Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Good thread! Hope you get to some warmer and less snowy conditions. Our challenge in NC has been cold and rainy, with the snow line halfway across the state. I got out for my first ride in a month earlier this week and it was very soothing. 2 Link to comment
Whip Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Morning from Havasu. Diamond’s Harley died. I am up early to get a regulator while they sleep off last nights fun and games. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hopefully it's not the Stator, a little more involved. Guessing Diamond knows his bike pretty well. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I've had my plug come loose from the regulator to the case prong. Bike stopped charging until I seated the plug. But like I said, Diamond probably knows his bike. Link to comment
Whip Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 We have a pro Harley wrench with us. We tested resistance in the stator and it was good. Pulled a regulator from another Harley and it started charging. Plugged Diamond’s regulator into the other HD and that bike would not charge...... so here I am getting a new regulator. All good. 2 Link to comment
Francois_Dumas Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Looking at those pics I think you've reached the south pole...... did you overshoot the target !? Link to comment
