WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 12 Issue 5 | 19 Either your needle valve is stuck in its seat, or the float height is not set correctly. Both, the needle & seat can be replaced on your Mikuni. I bought a 2013 FLS with 230 miles a month ago. It had been sitting in a barn for two plus years before being traded to a friend of mine for another bike. When I bought the bike, the lights were all working, but I noticed a couple days later that the rear taillight (directional/ break light) on the left side was not working. Upon further inspection, I noticed both taillight lenses were melted on the inside, and both reflective cones had brown and black burns on them. I changed the light bulb, and the taillight worked. The next day, the taillight was not working again. I tried another bulb, but no luck. I ordered a new reflective cone and wire from Harley, replaced from the bulb back to the plug-in under the seat. Still the light does not work. All other directions front and back work. What should I do next? First thing that comes to mind when you say "stored in a barn"? Remove your outer fairing. Inspect for possible mouse nesting and wire damage. With the outer fairing removed, you can also use a test light to verify whether or not you have proper voltage on the left side, coming to and from the left side switch. By Mark DiPietro I have 8k km (5k miles) on my Dyna wide glide silver anniversary edition. I have not ridden it for 2 years as I have been through 2 shoulder replacements. It has been kept in my underground parking garage which is heated and air conditioned. The tank was full and I put fuel stabilizer in it before being parked. The battery is out of it and the bike covered. I now want to ride again now that I am physically able. The oil has never been changed. Do I drain the fuel? If I swish it around will it be ok? If I drain the tank will that also drain the reserve? I do not want to get any plugged jets in the carb! Do I need to worry about upper engine oil if I just roll it over to start? I need help before I do anything. The bike is like the day it left the show room. I do not want to damage anything. If the fuel smells really stale, it would be best to drain the tanks. There is no separate reserve section inside the tank(s). Drain out as much as you can. If it smells decent, you can try adding some octane booster and give it a shot. Definitely want to drop that oil and start fresh. Would not be overly concerned about oil getting to the top of that engine. It will get there. Just, don't start racing the throttle as soon as it starts like on OCC! Consider draining your carburetor float bowl before attempting to start. There is a screw on the lower back of your stock carb. If you turn it counter clockwise, the fuel in your float bowl will drain down through the overflow tube. I have a 2003 FXSTSI Harley Davidson softail springer. Do I have to remove the rear fender in order to add a new led license plate frame? You should not need to remove your rear fender for something like an LED marker plate frame. However, removing your rear wheel may be helpful. Carb on my 93 Fatboy leaking from overflow what could be the cause? Have a Mikuni carb. TECH Q&A By Fix My HOG Continued from Page 15... electric scooters. In Ari's words, "not only did Paul build my bike but he has become a good friend." In the process of the build Paul helped with getting parts like the BST carbon fiber wheels, the custom Le Pera seat and the Italian ODC Suspension which Paul exclusively distributes in North America and the Tiger Glide is equipped with. Names like Le Pera, Klock Werks, Trask Performance, Rolling Art Custom Paint, ODC Suspension, make the Tiger Glide not only a one of a kind motorcycle, but in Paul Yaffe's words, it is "THE ART OF PERFORMANCE". "I recalled how it was a very easy process and everything Paul came up with I really liked" Ari recalls. "Add to that the performance work that was done to the bike, and you have my dream Performance Bagger. With reducing the weight of the stock bike and adding the performance parts, it puts out about 120 HP. It is the most powerful and the best handling bike I have ever owned". WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 12 Issue 5 | 19 The Tiger Glide was not only the beginning of a great friendship between two motorcycle enthusiasts and industry professionals, but also the catalyst to the 2021 Sturgis giveaway bike, valued at over $85,000. But it didn't stop there. It seems that the Tiger Glide has been the beginning of something else. WOG recently learned that Paul Yaffe has built FXR style frames to house the Milwaukee 8 motor! WOG has also learned that some of the best bike builders have a Bike Build-Off of FXRs going on. With Paul Yaffe of Bagger Nation, Nick Trask of Trask Performance, Jason Mook of Deadwood Custom Cycles, Brian Klock of Klock Werks, Curtis Hoffman of Hoffman Designs and Jeff Zielinski of Namz Custom Cycle Products, we have no doubt these custom bikes will be magazine material! The custom bikes are planned to be revealed during 2022 Arizona Bike Week and there are plans for the bike builders to drag race them next year at Sturgis; how cool is that! For more information see #FXRFriendsThrowdown and the future editions of WOG magazine. A big THANKS to Ari Levenbaum and the Law Tigers staff, Paul Yaffe and the Bagger Nation staff and Eddie Campos Photography for this opportunity. Mostly, we enjoyed riding the roads of Phoenix with two legends! Continued from Page 15... electric scooters. In Ari's words, "not only did Paul build my bike but he has become a good friend."
