Hams who ride Harleys. Hi name here is Don gw0plp in West Wales UK. I have been riding bikes most of my life. Brit Iron & Harleys. This time last year I bought a second hand 2005 Road King Classic (FLHRCI) which only had 4,500 miles on the clock. I rode around 2,500 in a few months of the summer and then started having a problem with the turn signals on the left hand side. It has turned out to be the TSSM Module Part No. 68924-00c which is now obsolete from Harley. Mine is Vertically mounted and the bike is fuel injected. The dealer says an alternative TSM module that by passes the alarm system will work on my bike. A Carb TSM won't work. I can't find one anywhere either new or second hand and they are having the same trouble locating one. My email address is gw0plp(at)gmail.com if anyone can help? I know this is not radio related but I'm guessing a few Ham Harely Riders might have some ideas? So any replies I guess it would be best to email me rather than tie up this site. I have already trawled YouTube and various Harley forums. Regards, Don gw0plp
My ride is a 2008 FXSTC soft tail. I go by Grandpa Roadkill, got T boned in 2004. Idiot was on phone and ran stop sign! Ride Safe!! Bill T Never understood why HAMS post their bikes? My Vance & Hines make a 599 QSN & QSM!!
These bikes are so old fashioned, but I suppose that's the appeal. How come they are made in Thailand, not the USA?
Me too all bikes and ATVs My last Sturgis was 2018, was set to go with my son this year, but leukemia my stop me. 73 from, The K0UO " Rhombic Antenna Farm" miles of wire in the Air & On the AIR daily
I made the Pilgrimage ride to York, PA where my bike was made. It was sold to me at Chadd Ford HD in Pennsylvania! Got the T shirt for free!!
My last Harley was a 2002 Softail with a 1550 big bore kit and se-203 cams & a big Markuni Carb. Rode 106,000 miles on that bike all around Europe and the UK. Had it 22 years but all things go eventually. I have made a lot of Biker friends (all makes) or ride Harleys on the radio. Men & Women. My Road King, I'm having a lot of trouble locating a TSSSM or TSM Module for it, I was hoping some like minded brothers would give some advice as to where I might have a chance of locating one? Don GW0PLP.
UPDATE. We might have found a TSM Module in Italy that will fit on Ebay. Fingers Croseed and will update as and when. Don Gw0plp
UPDATE. The TSM Module arrived from Italy but held up in customs with a heafty import duty tax. Good news the Module works A OK and the bike is back on the road with no issues. Looking forward to spring and getting some miles done. I will always be glad to hear from like minded bikers who are hams. On the hunt now for a good quality IP rated Handheld to keep on the bike and maybe a mini mag mount as well. 73' Don GW0PLP.
Thanks to all the like minded Bikers out there that contacted me by personal email. Some great advice and tips and all have been noted. I have been into bikes all my life and used to enjoy getting out off road on the dirt with a bike. I still follow a lot of bike stuff on the internet and love watching flat track racing, speedway, enduro etc. Below is a good link for results if anyone has the same interests. https://mxgpresults.com/ 73' D
I have a 2002 FLHR (carb) I bought new. Now has more than 80,000 miles, never needed anything except gas, oil, and good maintenance. Been from Maine to Key West, thru the Smokey Mtns several times, the Great Lakes region. Yeah, I ride. At the same time I owned a Triumph Sprint ST (955) too. Now, at 70 years old, I find the Road King a bit unwieldy .... not on the road, it practically drives itself ... but pushing in an out of the garage and in and out of parking spots. And If I ever drop it (not crash it) I'd better hope some good Samaritan comes along to help me put her back on her feet. So I'm looking now for a late model used Triumph twin. T100 is a likely candidate. My days of 500-mile-a-day road trips are over!
I had a Triumph Tiger Amazing what age does, I understand your sentiments. I watched my brother riding bikes at 70MPH on one wheel, he was good. Then he killed himself driving a Dodge Challenger road racing, leaving behind a two year old son and pregnant wife. Sold my bike and never rode since.
Hit a deer 10/13/12 going 45-50 mph, killed the deer, broke my foot and cracked my helmet. Engine guards saved my legs. I laid in the road, three cars just drove by and pointed at me. Crazy !! 2000 Fatboy (wife's) I rode her bike that day, not my Roadking (01) 73,
