Video-How to Freshen a Stinky Motorcycle Helmet Quickly!!

September 2, 2017 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

My Police Motorcycle Helmet liner gets very stinky from working daily in 100+ degree temperatures! There's no way not to sweat heavily. The only way I can combat the helmet stink is to routinely spray Bike Brite Helmet Refreshner on the liner. It is a cleaner and deodorizer for helmet liners. Helmet Liner Refreshner cleans, freshens and deodorizes all foam helmet liners. Just spray and wipe dry. I actually just spray it in the liner and let it soak in on its own. I then let it air dry.

I do take the helmet liner our often and run it through the washing machine for a deeper cleaning. Helmet Refreshner helps me get through the week.

I clean the exterior of my helmet and the inside and outside of the shield with Bugslide waterless motorcycle cleaner. I also clean my leather Police motorcycle boots with Bugslide for daily maintenance. And best of all is Buglside cleans my entire motorcycle in between those wet washes!!

If you want to stay up to date on all Harley Davidson Boom!™ Box updates and issues then subscribe to the free Law Abiding Biker Email list below:

Harley Davidson and Harman Kardon just released Boom!™ Box software update version 1.21.2.1 on August 7, 2017. This comes after software update versions 1.21.0.4 that was released in March 2017. We have received many inquiries from bikers asking if they should update to this latest version. It is always a good idea to wait and see if an update fixes more than it breaks and let me have some time to test things.

Note: This particular update if for the Boom Box 4.3 Standard, 6.5T Premium, and the CVO 6.5GT systems. I give the go ahead to update to this new Boom Box software update version, 1.21.2.1.

I installed and tested this update for you. As usual, don't expect any miracles and that suddenly all things will be fixed for ever user. They still have a long way to go to get rid of all the problems that persist with the Harley Boom!™ Box Infotainment System. We are all skeptical that they'll ever get the Boom Box working perfectly at this point.

FAQ:

Question: If I get behind on updating my Boom Box software, will I have to go back and install each past update I missed?

Answer: No, you do not have to update incrementally. If you get behind, just grab the latest software update here and install it. It will update everything you need including past updates. There is no access to the older updates from the Harley website anyway.

Question: If I update my Boom Box to the newest software version and don't like it or it brakes things, am I stuck with it?

Answer: No, as long as you have been saving each Boom Box update file somewhere you're fine. You can go to a past software update file and install that over the new update version (downgrade). Keep all software versions and updates as Harley does not post or give access to older versions.

Resources & videos:

Remember; The Harley Boom!™ Box still has many annoying bugs and problems, so don't expect this software update to suddenly fix everything.

If you don't know how to properly update your system software and maps then check out my Official Boom!™ Box Software Update Video.

Filming Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight Service, Oil Change & Safety Inspection

August 30, 2017 By Ryan Urlacher 3 Comments

We are filming a routine service, oil change, and safety inspection on a Harley-Davidson with a Milwaukee-Eight motor. It doesn’t matter if you have the 107 ci or 114 ci engine as the service is the same. It doesn't matter what model you have as what we teach you is the same. We are going to show you exactly what the Harley dealerships do and charge you $300 to $400 for every 5k miles. We are going to show you even more than they actually do.

The best part is you’ll have the pure satisfaction of wrenching on your own Harley right in your very own shop or garage. You’ll know things were done right. It's a great feeling!!

You’ll save a ton of money by doing these simple services yourself.

I hope to have the official video edited and released in a month or so. Stay tuned and subscribe to this channel!!

Video-In this completely free DIY video we show you how to adjust your Harley-Davidson clutch internally. We'll also give you a good look behind the primary cover. You actually only need to remove your clutch inspection cover to adjust the clutch, but we wanted to give you a better angle, so in the video, we had the entire primary cover off.

We then show you how to follow up and adjust the clutch lever cable on your Harley-Davidson. This video will show you start to finish how to adjust your Harley clutch and to get it right where you want it. We give you all the tips and tricks needed for this project. No specialty tools are required for this project.

Note: This is for cable clutch Harley models. There are no adjustments on a newer hydraulic Harley clutch.

Save yourself a ton of money by not having to take your Harley to the dealership to have these types of projects done. You can do this right in your very own shop or garage and right on the kickstand. Plus, have the absolute satisfaction of wrenching on your own Harley!
