Replacing Your Harley Shifter Linkage-Tutorial Video

September 2, 2021 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

In this completely free video, we show you how to easily install a replacement Harley shifter linkage. We also show you how to remove your old shifter linkage.

It's not a question of when the stock Harley shifter linkage will fail, but when. And when that happens, you'll be left stranded, likely in the middle of nowhere. You need to get a good quality shift linkage that uses sturdy & reliable heim joints. We used Kuryakyn shift linkage in this video.

We trust this Kuryakyn Harley shifter linkage and have used it over many years and over thousands of miles on many of our bikes. That's why we sell it right in the Law Abiding Biker Store!

Harley-Davidson Front Fork Rebuild Kit & New Suspension Tutorial Video

May 3, 2021 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

We show you how to rebuild your front forks and install aftermarket suspension on your Harley-Davidson motorcycle in this completely free tutorial video. For the most part, it doesn't matter what year or make of Harley you have as the procedures for this are all very similar. (see video below)

We show you how to remove your ignition switch, inner dash panel, and fuel tank to access the fork cap nuts. Often times you can use a fork cap nut socket to remove the fork cap nuts without having to remove the fuel tank. However, removing your fuel tank gives better access to break the nuts free and tighten them back down. You can actually use a standard box end wrench and get plenty of leverage on them with the fuel tank off.

We then show you how to remove the front forks from your Harley and rebuild them with a standard kit that many companies make. During this project, we also installed aftermarket suspension components and we walk you through that too.

We did this install on Oscar's 2013 Harley Ultra Limited with about 50k miles on it. He said the front suspension was just getting too soft for his liking so he wanted to install an aftermarket front suspension to stiffen it up a bit. And, it's always a great idea to also install a fork rebuild kit since your going to have the forks off the bike and taken apart anyways.

There is absolutely no reason to pay a dealership or shop mechanic to rebuild your Harley front forks or install front suspension components as you can do this right in your very own garage with basic tools. We show you everything you need to know in this tutorial video.

How to Install 444 Progressive Touring Shocks on a Harley Davidson & Adjust Sag-Video

February 6, 2021 By Ryan Urlacher 1 Comment

We have installed the Progressive 444 rear suspension for Harley on quite a few bikes over the years and we love them. Because we've used these shocks for quite some time, we recommend them and carry them in the Law Abiding Biker Store. In this video, we show you how to install the 444 rear shocks on a Harley and how to adjust them so you have the proper sag. This model shock, like other Progressive shocks, are offered in different weight ratings.

Adjusting Proper Suspension Sag

Justin, here at Law Abiding Biker Media, was not happy with the overall ride of his 2012 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited, which came with the outdated air-shock system Harley used for so many years on many of its touring models. The stock Harley air shock system leaks over time, which becomes a big frustration for many riders. And it can be dangerous to ride your motorcycle when the shocks lack the proper air pressure.

Progressive 444 Rear Shocks

Another option:

The Progressive 944's Ultra-Touring model is another option and it lowers certain models like Harley Ultras by an inch without losing great rear shock performance. They don't lower models such as the Harley Street or Road Glide Specials as they already sit an inch lower than Ultras.

There are also several different models of the Progressive 944's and it will depend on how much riding weight you'll actually have, so make sure you select the correct model for your needs. Whenever selecting a Progressive shock, you'll want to take into consideration how much luggage you'll load on and whether you're going to ride with a passenger often.

For more details about fitment and lowering, head over to the Law Abiding Biker Store.

After we installed Progressive 944 rear suspension on Justin's bike, he went for a ride and that's when the true test began. Changing your rear suspension on your Harley to the Progressive 444's is an unbelievable change in the overall ride. He is really enjoying how these shocks handle and give his Harley a new feel!

How to Replace Harley Spark Plugs & Properly Set Gap

December 18, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

We'll show you how to replace the spark plugs on your Harley and how to set the appropriate gap in this completely free tutorial video. There is no reason to pay a Harley dealership to do this very simple maintenance. There are an array of spark plugs out there on the market. As long as it's a well-known brand name, you'll be just fine. For this project, we purchased the two spark plugs needed directly from the Harley dealership because they were in stock and cost us around $10.

SAVE MORE MONEY AND CHECK OUT OUR DETAILED FOR PURCHASE HARLEY-DAVIDSON MAINTENANCE AND INSTALL VIDEOS HERE!

Check your Harley owner's manual, but it's usually recommended that you replace the spark plugs on your Harley at 30,000miles or every two years. I will personally tell you from experience that you can get many more miles than 30k out of a set of spark plugs on your Harley and we currently have a set were testing at 50k miles right now and doing fine (not recommended).

With that said, spark plugs on your Harley are cheap, so why not just change them somewhere around 30k miles & follow Harley's recommendation. Plus, with this free tutorial video, it won't cost you a dealership mechanic fee anyways.

Understand, Harley dealerships will no longer flash the Boom Box for you unless you purchase their Harley branded Boom Audio Stage speaker and amp kits. No worries though, because in our tutorial video we show you how to easily flash your Boom Box system using the Techno Research Scan Tool that you purchase with your Soundz Bagger Audio Kit.

Save your money and do this project yourself right in your shop or garage right on the kickstand. No fancy motorcycle lifts, jacks or tools needed.

How to Set Suspension Sag on a Motorcycle-Adjusting Preload

July 11, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher 2 Comments

Setting your motorcycle suspension sag by adjusting preload on your rear shocks is very important. It affects the geometry of your motorcycle and how it handles overall. This doesn't need to be a complicated process as many make it seem in other online videos and articles. We're here to break it down in simple terms for the everyday motorcycle enthusiast. (see video below)

Setting motorcycle suspension sag just means that you are adjusting how much your bike lowers (sags) and rides in the rear when a rider, passenger, luggage or a combination is on the bike. The bike should only sag down so far and within a pre-determined range. Whether you're riding street, adventure, dual-sport, or dirt, setting motorcycle suspension sag is a universal process.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

Most stock Harley-Davidson rear shocks have a pre-load adjuster knob and the owner's manual gives you load weight ratings and where you should set the preload. The air shock system on the Harley works the same by adding or removing air. If you install aftermarket shocks of any kind then you'll need to learn how to properly set motorcycle suspension sag.

Video-How to use a Posi-Tap, Twist, Lock Wire Connector on Motorcycle Wiring

July 4, 2020 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

In this video, we show you how to splice or tap into a wire on your Harley-Davidson or Indian using a posi-tap wire connector. It is very similar if using a posi-twist or posi-lock connector. These connectors are very reliable and there are different sizes for different gauge wires. They are approved for harsh environments such as dust, dirt, shock, vibrations, moisture and more. Posi-Tap wire connectors work great on motorcycles for this reason.
