    After doing the install, my right side blinkers stopped working. The running lights work fine. Did I miss a wire or maybe short or ground a wire?

      Hi, Allen. We would be happy to assist you; we just need some more information. What is the make/model/year of your motorcycle?

    I put Baby Apes on my 08 XL1200C Sportster by using your video. Very well done and APPRECIATED.! I see why it costs so much at the dealership. Took me better part of a week. BUT, I am a Disabled Nam Vet. EVERYTHING takes me 3X as long to do as before. LOL. Just wanted to say THANKS!. I have used other videos, but this one was extra good with all the details. RIDE SAFE, RIDE HARD.

    Now that you’ve fully serviced your Harley Sportster, you can take the opportunity to check all of the safety features on the bike.

    Harley Brakes – Sportster Rear Pad Replacement

    Bob demonstrates the proper technique for checking, servicing and replacing Harley brakes on the rear wheel caliper of your Harley Sportster. He shows how to loosen the caliper, remove the brake pads and install a new set. Once they are in place, he pumps the rear brakes to make sure the caliper is making solid contact with the wheel and checks the fluid reservoir. If the fluid level is low, you should either bleed the brakes or replace the fluid. More Maintenance Videos are listed here.
