Good afternoon Jim,

I send you the  :welcome_005: from FRANCE.
But  :worthless: of your bike  :2vrolijk_21:

Question, Question .....
Why do you ride with HD ?
Why do you buy a CVO ?
Really, I think you know the answers and it's better to speak with passion that it's our difference. ;)

Best regards

Welcome to the site!!  I just tell them they could buy a pretty nice Lexus for what I've got in the bike.  Hell, I don't even want to know what I've got in my bike to this point, and I'm not even through.  Or I just turn it around on them and ask them what they think I've got in it...they always guess low if they don't know bikes well, and I just say a LOT more than that.

I'll just about bet money that your seat is plugged into the wrong power supply...only takes about 5 minutes to take the seat off and change it to the other plug.

Welcome aboard Jim. You will enjoy this place, and soon you can add a few thousand to your price if you give into the urge to chrome and modify. You will get plenty of help from this site. But that's ok, we all have a few OCD problems. As for your question, I ask if you are thinking about buying one, I'll answer you. If you aren't buying, then it doesn't matter.

Welcome Jim.

You have more advice here than you can use already, so of course I will add more.

On the seat - mine had a bent pin in the connector - dealer fixed it - no bigee.  Could be the wrong plug.  After 5-10 minutes you will know if it is working or not.  Works great!

On the price of the bike - its up to you what you want to tell someone.  If you know somebody they usually get a different answer than a stranger.  Once in a while I'll tell someone it cost darn near 2 grand.  But I am not going to tell them which part.  :huepfenjump3:

Happy riding - hope it warms up soon for you.

Thanks everyone!  You were right!  The seat was plugged into the ACC switch.  Went out yesterday and spent 2 hours in under 40 degree weather.  The seat was great.  I beat the snow.  Now I have to wait a few more days.  >:(

Me too........whatever I've got into it when they ask.  And that target is still constantly changing.
