Check engine lamp came on about 30miles ago and comes on intermittantly there after. I was wondering if anyone knows how to access the codes stored so that I can look at them. I don't have a scanner for harleys so I was wondering if there was a way to do so without. Thanks. ]]> Harley Evo Sportster mikexl883r http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-evo-sportster/7368-accessing-diagnostic-trouble-codes.html Recession Problems http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-evo-sportster/7359-recession-problems.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:35:40 GMT This is a bit of a nerve on my behalf, but in difficult times we need to do whatever we can to put bread on our table.

I have two sportsters, which I love and would only sell as the absolute last resource...

I have a plan in mind, and that is to canvas all you sportsters owners particularly models from 2000 to current, is to ask you to search your garages for good quality items that you may have stashed away (nothing mechanical) but just about everything else that you may just be saving for whatever reason and sell them to me.

I would propose to buy these off of you and pay by paypal, I know his is a risk on my behalf but I believe all Harley owners are honest guys.

I live in a very remote part of Wales and since losing my job have applied for over 150 jobs, I guess its an location and age thing (57).

We get £67.00 per week but its not until you have been unemployed for 26 you actually receive this some.

I have savings and I hope that you guys might consider what I have mentioned...

I have to be honest what you buy in genuine HD products are so cheap that I feel I can turn a few extra £0.00's to keep me from going under...

I hope this doesnt get pulled, Im not a business, Im an individual and I ahve been on this forum for about 3 years on and off... So Im not a rogue....

please email me if you do not think this forum or what Im asking is inappropriate

The best of surprises came when after I called the local HD store (Hundred Dollar store) and they told me...That'll be a $112.00. I said thank you very much and moved on.

The friend recommended: (Arizona Battery,866 597-3709), and ask for Bob. I paid about 1/2 as much for a AGM battery, 12 volt/20 AH) for my Sporty 1200 S.

No, I didn't know about them till I called, and sure I love to find an honest company too. I think you'll be happy with them and it's my 2 cents worth.

This spring, my little brother in Spokane got his first bike, a Sporty. So, after a lull of 30 years, I ran out and bought a sweet ’04 XL 1200R with a beautiful Corbin saddle. I love everything about it; it’s plenty of motorcycle for me.

At 69, I travelled to Spokane and back to the Chicago area, 5,300 miles in 2 ½ weeks. Soon after, to Norman OK, 1,600 miles more. Move over, Benjamin Button! A summer I will never forget.

See you around. I'll wave at ya when you go by, even if your ridin' a Puch. ]]> Harley Evo Sportster Beartooth http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-evo-sportster/7216-old-dude-first-harley.html Big air kit and engine guard??? http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-evo-sportster/7183-big-air-kit-engine-guard.html Thu, 22 Oct 2009 02:59:16 GMT Hey everyone,
I ordered my Rush slash cut slip on's today. I currently have over 9,000 Miles on my bike now. Well I was wondering if anyone here knows of a big air kit I can get for my bike like the stage 1 big air kit for sportster EFI's. I can't find one at Harley and I really didn't want to go with the round filter style. I looked all over our books and all I could find is a forcewinder kit that 90's out like the se kit with a cold air filter style on it. And a arlen ness kit witch is the round style kit. I like the look of the "football" style air cover so I wanted to keep it. Also does anyone know who makes these engine guards? Thanks Derrick.
