How do you feel about your roadster now? Is it reliable. I am considering buying one with 16k miles. Did you ever make a follow up video with the upgrades?

I loved the Roadster for short rides around town and the nearby backroads. It's a great looking bike with good low end torque. Reliable, yes. However, I recently traded the Sportster for a Road King. My favorite type of riding is touring. Long rides done in comfort. I miss the Roadster and wish I could have kept it but there's not enough room in my garage and funds in my bank account. So now I have some long trips planned for the Road King with large saddlebags, big windscreen and comfortable seating position. Thanks for watching Wheel Stories. I appreciate the question.

Started this process today, thanks to your video, and hope to be riding again this week after the front brake line connector comes in! Side note / tip for others to consider: I have a 2002 R1150R and it turns out that a large screw-top square plastic tub (from a package of mixed nuts, of all things) fits almost perfectly in the void left by the ABS module. With a little flexing of the screw-top opening, the brake light circuit board also fit perfectly inside (diagonally). I cut a hole in the bottom of the tub for the 'male' end of the brake light circuit board to stick through, sealed around all the edges with silicone, and screwed the bottom of the tub back on (with another plastic spacer inside to support the bottom of the circuit board when the connector is being pushed on and attached). It's airy, waterproof, and sits right where the ABS module used to be. It's zip-tied upside down to some neighboring brackets, with the connector sticking out on top and the screw top opening facing down. It was the right height and doesn't interfere with tank fitment. I was concerned about heat, but there are lots of other plastic parts in that same area. Time will tell... For now, I think this was simpler, quicker (for me), and will be 'serviceable' if I need to access to that board in the future. I also didn't have to cut any wires to disconnect it from the ABS module - there were little white connectors for all of the wires that simply came undone. Thank you so much for this video!

Best video of KZitem for adjusting the valves. I can't believe other videos are suggesting putting a screwdriver in the sparkplug hole and rotating the back tire to find TDC. Especially when it is so easy to find it properly.....as suggested in your video. Many thanks 🙏🏻

Well done and thanks for sharing your insight on your Mustang seat experiences. Agree seat is most impactful add regarding comfort. I recently acquired an 05 1200 Custom added same seat also added handlebars from swap meet from touring model which are taller and wider using Burly cables kit and 13" rear shocks these Sportsters are much more than many give them credit for regarding day long riding. Ride on

Thanks for this informative video. I agree that you wouldn't cry too many tears over losing a cheap camera, but many of your shots are of poor quality because of too much vibration from the bike being transferred to the camera. The latest GoPros ARE expensive, but every shot I have ever taken with mine has been rock steady because of GoPro's amazing image stabilisation. You get what you pay for.

Thank you very much for the very detailed video. I have a 2002 R1150R with the ABS failed after replacing the brake lines which started leaking. However, when I opened the circuitboard I realized theis had melted. Consequently the brake lights no longer work even with well performing brakes after the conversion. You mention a kit, replacing switches etc. from a non ABS model. Any advice going forward with that? Again many thanks for the video and info.

It has been so long ago since I removed the ABS module from my bike, I can't recall the details on the wiring alternative. Search the internet. There is a blog post somewhere that explains how to replace the switches and revise the wiring so that the entire module can be removed. Includes a wiring diagram. There is a solution out there.

The component was heavy and connected to the defunct brake lines and full of fluid. So I decided to eliminate the module, pull out the unnecessary fluid lines and clean up afterward.
