Or choke cable length.

Another solution is to park by the Harleys, then no one will notice.

Just do not recommend using the sheet metal screw method to remove the seal. The tolerances are tight and you risk scoring the shaft. Don't ask how I know. Lets just say I am now looking for a speedi sleeve to fit the shaft.

I would swap out the highway pegs for a set of Kurykan Longhorns. Make sure you get the smaller one inch diameter clamps.

If memory serves there are some minor differences but I do know many of the carb parts are interchangeable but not all. I would think they should fit physically but you may have to play with the jetting and slider needle settings to match the 1200 requirements. I would go into a parts break down for each carb and see how the part numbers for each match up.

Mine is not the same as yours. but I do have the front pocket set so that it sits centered to the same height as the axle with the rear saddle adjusted so the wheel is not touching the ground.

1st of all the fuel pump runs on both a timer and a line pressure sensor so it is quite normal to turn the key on and off for several cycles to get fuel to the carbs if they are empty. When the carbs are full the pump will barely run but a click or two. 2nd Check your screen to see what is displayed when the red light is on or flashing it could simply mean your getting low on fuel or your side stand is down while in gear. In the case of fuel level the light will flash when getting low. slow at 1st than faster as it gets lower and finally solid when your very low.

There is an artical in the tech section regarding what to do if the sense wire cannot be used in thevreplacement battery,k

You are correct regarding it should have 2 filaments and it should also have 2 lead contacts on the base. Odd that they would opt to use such a rare bulb for a simple signal light.

Dumb question as I am sure you already tried but is there a number on the bulb base
