Headlight low beam doesn't work high beam works fine replaced bulb still no work fuses are good 2005 Harley Davidson Fatboy with dual halogen headlamp
Hi, Jw605roc if your headlight is not working, intermittent, only one beam works at a time, keeps burning out, blinking, dim or surges from bright to dim to bright the first thing you need to check is the headlight bulb for damaged filaments then check your light circuit fuse, then check your headlight bulb socket ground wire for a clean tight connection, that being said the usual suspects are:
1. Faulty ground or power supply wire to the headlight bulb socket.
2. Worn down solder contacts or loose fit of the bulb base in the socket due to vibration.
3. Worn, chafed, or broken wires in the light circuit.
4. Corroded, broken, or loose pins/sockets in wire connectors.
5. Faulty hi/low beam switch.
6. Faulty ignition switch.
7. Fuse is good but no continuity on both sides.
8. Faulty headlight relay.
9. Faulty wiring between battery positive and headlight bulb socket.
10. Weak charging alternator/generator/lighting coil
11. Faulty voltage regulator/rectifier ground or overcharging.

SOURCE: how to change brake pads on a 2005 1200 Harley
there is 2 bolts on the caliper take them off and there are pad pins that need to be taken out.. inside the caliper there is a metal clip where the pad sits in.. put them in the same way they came out once you start its pretty self explainatory.. you should not have to blead them

If you can turn the plug out, you can go to a large size plug. If you can't get the plug to come out, take the outer primary cover off allowing the oil to drain out as you remove the outer cover. Sure it's messy but you've got no choice. Now with the cover off, push down on the plug while trying to turn it out. It'll probably come out doing this. Then measure it and get the next size bigger. Tap the hole to the bigger size and install new plug. Good Luck!
Testimonial: "wish you had a p/n for the bigger size plug, that would be awesome."

the heat from the bulb being continiuosly on may have melted a wire inside your headlight?

If you ask this question YOU should not be doing it! but your *** on the seat not mine.
Remove ...........front wheel, front fender,top fork cap and loosen lower triple clamp bolts under head light cover, forks are now out!
Remove 6mm bolt at the bottom of the fork leg and drain oil,remove dust seal and wire clip, now remove the upper fork nut (the spring will jump out at you).Pull the leg and tube away from each other, the old seal will stay on the tube..clean and reassemble driving NEW seal down into place with wire clip.....refill with oil
