    • @TheGingybeardMan
      @TheGingybeardMan  2 года назад

      Id suggest trying to clear the engine code. Sometimes if a wire shorts it will trip an engine fault. Once the code is cleared hopefully the error code will go away. Otherwise if it doesn't clear if say you have a wire shorting out

      Not for the stock tank but if you get another model tank you can have the center console but will need to get the ECU flashed to work.

    hey mate how do u find the height of the headlight beam? i just installed same on my breakout and feel the beam level is too high but if i angle the surround down much more it will look like it's pointing at the front wheel 🤣🤣

    • @TheGingybeardMan
      @TheGingybeardMan  2 года назад +1

      Man I didnt have any issues. I'm not sure if the breakouts forks and rake sit you're light on a different angle to the street bob. I'd suggest look at doing something with your headlight mounting block, whether it needs to be shaved down a bit or a shorter one purchased.

    @randallsimmons391 3 года назад

    The simplest solution for your headlamp would have been to simply swap the mount. Paint it black to match your look but you would have saved significant amounts of time.

    • @TheGingybeardMan
      @TheGingybeardMan  3 года назад

      I rang the supplier and he said a mount/headlight block to suit the stock bolt is not available. Only way to fit the mount is to modify the triple tree. The stock mount is far wider than the aftermarket one at the mounting point and is unable to be swapped to fit the new headlight. Trust me, I already though this over before drilling into my Harley.
