Ahh the Derby cover and the Primary cover. Anti seize the crap out of the fasteners Clean the bore holes Addition: The cam position sensor cover fasteners and bore hole need to be cleaned and antie sized If you don't they will snap under Tq
If you want to cover your bike in the garage during the Winter, nothing beats a King Size Bed Flat Sheet, all cotton, often found at the thrift store cheap. Easy on/off, keeps dust away, no scratch, and let's everything breathe. With my bike covered up on the dolly, "King On The Throne", I can roll it around covered with ease.

Hey doc, I'm from Indiana and I ride all winter long. I love the venture heat heated gear. not cheap but it keeps me on two wheels. The heated jacket liner I don't even have to put on high. The heated riding pant under my chaps, amazing. The heated socks, amazing. The heated winter gloves, well I wish they were a little bit warmer. The garments all plug in to each other and then into a pigtail hook to my battery. nice and clean.
Hey, Happy Holidays. Great advise on removing the fill plug / derby cover before removing the drain plug. Same advise for any machinery. Nothing worse then draining a differential and not be in able to remove fill plug. Always remove fill plug 1st. In most cases, you can suck the fluid sump out from the fill hole. Can’t fill from the drain. Makes for a very bad day…………
Thanks Doc for all your tech tips through our this past year. I have learned a lot from your tips and it's always good to hear from you. Merry Christmas to you and your family and your Harley Davidson family at Low Country Harley Davidson. Look forward to seeing and hearing from you in the New You Year.
Year round rider here... All I own is a 2010 ultra limited. It's 14° in Texas right now. Sometimes I think what if I got a car with a heater and I immediately almost throw up in my mouth. Good thing I'm as tough as I am dumb 🤷😆
@@LowCountryHarleyDavidson haha I layer up like I'll never see the sun again lol thanks for the reply! I am a lover of your channel. This is my 4th Harley and man I love it. It's the black and blue ice chameleon paint! 😍
Thanks again Doc!!!! BTW... I could afford to buy my wife the Christmas present you suggested (a new HD bike) but I did get her a new HD sweater jacket and 1/2 of a case of Syn3 oil for her bike.... LOL Happy, Safe, Merry and warm Christmas to you and your family!!!!!!
Thanks for another great d&d episode, Doc! (no, I don't mean dungeons & dragons, obviously) But I have a question: is it necessary to pull the main fuse if you gonna hook it up to a battery tender? I mean sure, if you don't it'll drain some power but on the other hand, it's being charged by the tender. I've never taken out the fuse for winter storage, just plugged in the charger. Should I? The Harley Girl from Belgium
Doc, being new to Harleys I have many questions. I hear conflicting advice about - should I start my bike and let it idle every 2 or 3 weeks during the winter months. I ride a 2013 Street Bob. Thank you Doc.
Invention for somebody ! Make a derby cover with a fill plug at oil level, just like MC drive shafts have. Could sell Millions ! I might machine up my own if no one else is gonna do it
Bug Slide Cleaner is what use to Clean All of my Bike ' and Don't Forget the Scarf for your Neck ! I road yesterday in 38° weather ponds kinda Frozen over in my area , and by the time i got back home , i knew i shoulda wirn my Scarf !!! To you and the Crew Happy Holidays to You !!!
Thx doc,. Can you post product referral on cleaners, as long as able I'll ride to work all winter but also had to plug tender in , bigger motors don't like 20s setting out for night shift!! Thx , ride safe!!
Cleaning products are like oil. Everyone has there favorites. Of coarse we use Harley products because we are a dealer. I am very impressed with your choice of ride to night shift. Be careful stay strong…Doc
No, ABS can not be added. Besides the mechanical parts the software is key in controlling ABS. Choose a model that came with ABS and if used kept well maintained….Doc

Clean the bore holes
Addition: The cam position sensor cover fasteners and bore hole need to be cleaned and antie sized

Took me one incident to anti seize them bastards
I just use allen head screws... no more stripped out screw heads. But I do like the idea of the anti-seize.
for fellow riders out there some windex is amonia free but you have to read the label.
Thanks M…Doc
Great tips Doc. Season Greetings. All the best for 23 👍

I used Plexus on the windshield.
Good stuff👍…Doc
If I change the stage one intake to a big sucker , or something similar I will have it have the bike re tuned, correct "?
More information is needed. My rule is if an owner changes air cleaner AND exhaust ( mufflers or complete) a tune is needed…..Doc
Yeah it's already been tuned with the stage one intake. I was looking for a little more horsepower. Maybe with a High performance intake
Merry Christmas !!!
Merry Christmas Jeff…Doc

Hey Doc , diffrent topic ... I want to buy my first HD and I prefer ABS brakes , so ABS brakes can be add/install on none ABS HD 96 or 103 CI ?
No, ABS can not be added. Besides the mechanical parts the software is key in controlling ABS. Choose a model that came with ABS and if used kept well maintained….Doc

Doc why is Harley Davidson telling me that the NEW 12v lithium Battery will not work with my 1995 Road King , is it the Voltage regulator or the Stater . or Just they don't want to sell a New Battery for a old bike . Merry Christmas
Go to Batteries plus bulbs and they will hook you up for even a little better price. Hope this helps . Ride safe brother
@@gaknskk I have a 8 year old battery in my bike From O'Reilly interstate , been great the Harley Batters keep showing up in my feed when I look at them on the Harley Web site , This Battery's can not be used on my Motorcycle . Just wanted to know if its the charging system .
Some products have limited testing by Harley-Davidson. So if they have not tested with your year bike they won’t include it in “ what fits”…Doc
@@JCcanU You got your money worth out of that battery for sure.
@@gaknskk Its still going I fired up the bike yesterday it was -8 let it run 10 minutes . Getting ready to do a 100 HP build in a few weeks .

The same goes for tinted windows in your vehicle, ammonia will mess it up.
