I just changed oil and filter on my 2001 XLH883C when I started it, it blew the filler cap off and oil all over, what could be the problem? Also changed the Harley fuel shut off cause it was leaking, the new one didn’t have the vacuum port so the mechanic told me to just block the line, is this a problem??

Replacing your vacuum fuel valve with a non-vacuum valve is not related to your oil fill plug popping out. Make sure your oil level is correct. You may be over full. Also, if your fill plug is loose into your oil tank, you should replace it with a new OEM fill plug.

I need to know what is inside the security modulator. My son has a 2009 Rocker C that wouldn't start. The dealer said the modulator was bad. A new one was $278. In the process the found a very minor other electric problem and the bill was $425. Then the magic modulator arrived, had to be programmed by HD and the bill was $508.06. I asked for the part as I suspect it is a bi-stable relay and could be shorted to use next time, but they conveniently "lost" it. The front disc lock should be all the security needed for a 700+ piece of , well a HD
