Later Harley's (like your husbands) have a system that when the ECU (Electrical Control Unit) senses something wrong, it goes into "limp home" mode, where top speed is limited to 20-25 MPH, just enough to "limp home"
First, he needs to check the error codes, or TDCs (Trouble Diagnosis Code(s)).
I have a 2008, but the method might be the same for a '09.
Make sure the right hand handlebar kill switch is in the "RUN" position.
While holding in the odometer reset button, turn ignition switch to "ON".
All instrument and warning lights should illuminate, and the speedometer should sweep all the way to maximum, then back to "0" MPH.
Scroll through the readings (where the odometer displays) with the reset button, writing down any error codes.

Does the sidecar harness have a square 4 pin plug? If it does it more than likely connects to the auxillary plug under the seat.

Not too hard - Undo the two bolts on the caliper and then seperate the caliper and pull the old ones out. Insert the new ones and put the bolts back in to hold the caliper back together and then install them back on the bike with the two retaining bolts. Use a bit of lock tight (Blue) on the threads. Warning do not let anyone apply pressure on the brakes while you have them off the bike or you will have a mess and/or a problem.

most harleys the crank drain is under the skid plate at bottom of bike, so oil changes are done via oil tank drain. always change the filter.
Testimonial: "I found the drain myself, but it isn't under a skidplate. I think that is for earlier models. Thanks."

Idle speed on a fuel injected bike must me set by the dealer if it's still stock. I think you can set it yourself in you have a Power Commander on the bike but I don't know how to work with that unit.
