Harley Davidson and Harman Kardon just released Boom!™ Box software update version 1.21.2.1 on August 7, 2017. This comes after software update versions 1.21.0.4 that was released in March 2017.  We have received many inquiries from bikers asking if they should update to this latest version. It is always a good idea to wait and see if an update fixes more than it breaks and let me have some time to test things.

Note: This particular update if for the Boom Box 4.3 Standard, 6.5T Premium, and the CVO 6.5GT systems. I give the go ahead to update to this new Boom Box software update version, 1.21.2.1.

I installed and tested this update for you. As usual, don't expect any miracles and that suddenly all things will be fixed for ever user. They still have a long way to go to get rid of all the problems that persist with the Harley Boom!™ Box Infotainment System. We are all skeptical that they'll ever get the Boom Box working perfectly at this point.

FAQ:

Question: If I get behind on updating my Boom Box software, will I have to go back and install each past update I missed?

Answer: No, you do not have to update incrementally. If you get behind, just grab the latest software update here and install it. It will update everything you need including past updates. There is no access to the older updates from the Harley website anyway.

Question: If I update my Boom Box to the newest software version and don't like it or it brakes things, am I stuck with it?

Answer: No, as long as you have been saving each Boom Box update file somewhere you're fine. You can go to a past software update file and install that over the new update version (downgrade). Keep all software versions and updates as Harley does not post or give access to older versions. 

Resources & videos:

Remember; The Harley Boom!™ Box still has many annoying bugs and problems, so don't expect this software update to suddenly fix everything.

This update claims to fix the following: (1.21.2.1)

Filming Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight Service, Oil Change & Safety Inspection

By 3 Comments

We are filming a routine service, oil change, and safety inspection on a Harley-Davidson with a Milwaukee-Eight motor. It doesn’t matter if you have the 107 ci or 114 ci engine as the service is the same. It doesn't matter what model you have as what we teach you is the same. We are going to show you exactly what the Harley dealerships do and charge you $300 to $400 for every 5k miles. We are going to show you even more than they actually do.

The best part is you’ll have the pure satisfaction of wrenching on your own Harley right in your very own shop or garage. You’ll know things were done right. It's a great feeling!!

You’ll save a ton of money by doing these simple services yourself.

I hope to have the official video edited and released in a month or so. Stay tuned and subscribe to this channel!!

Podcast Part 1 of 2-In this two-part series, Oscar and I give you an inside look into the life of a Police Motorcycle Officer. Both Oscar and I are full-time Police Motor Officers. Of course, in our off time is when we create all the content for Law Abiding Biker™ Media, Inc.

We get into great detail about Police Motor Officer initial training schools and ongoing training. We discuss riding equipment and our thoughts on the different motorcycles used by different departments. I am assigned a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Police Motorcycle, while Oscar is assigned  Honda ST 1300 Police Motorcycle. We give you the pros and cons for both and I have trained on both.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE!

Not all Police Motor Officer training is the same. I am very blessed and get the best of initial and ongoing motorcycle training and get to compete. Oscar also gets great initial and ongoing training and will hopefully compete next year. There are departments that get very little initial Police Motorcycle Training and lack ongoing training, which is very dangerous in my opinion.

If you ever wanted to know all about Police Motor Officers from the perspective of two actual Motor Officers, then this is a must listen to episode.

We even had Patron Members ride up from the States and into Canada to be part of this large meet-up. Wow, we went on a great day ride with the Patrons. They even had Patron Ride 2017  T-shirts made up for everyone! We finished the day off at Patron member John Patton's home where we had a back yard BBQ, drank cold beer, and everyone had time to make connections and get to know each other better. I can't say enough about how awesome this entire meet-up was!

In this tutorial video, we teach you how to perform routine maintenance, oil change, and safety inspection on your Harley Davidson equipped with a Milwaukee-Eight 107 or 114 ci motor. It doesn't matter which model Milwaukee-Eight Harley you have. What we teach you is universal across the entire Milwaukee-Eight line. You can do this right in your very own shop or garage and no specialty tools are required.

Note: You can get our Harley PRE-Milwaukee-Eight Oil Change, Service, & Safety Inspection Video Here!

What years & makes will this video work for exactly?

  • The video is good for Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight 107 (1,750cc) and 114 (1,870cc) CI motors & CVO models. The Milwaukee-Eight motors, oil plugs, air filters, oil filters, frames, brakes, belts, levers, and other components are basically the same for the all these models:
  • All Harley models with the Milwaukee-Eight 107 & 114 ci motor.
  • Single & Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 107 & 114 ci motors
  • CVO Models with the 107 & 114 ci motor

Get our PRE-Milwaukee-Eight Harley-Davidson Oil Change & Maintenance Video Here!

Servicing your Harley Davidson yourself DOES NOT void your warranty in any way and that is a FACT! We have spoken directly to many Harley Davidson Service Managers and Mechanics over the years and nothing has changed.There are a couple of items you need to retain to keep your warranty in tact and this is discussed within. You are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Much effort & detail went into the filming & producing this video to give you the best possible views.  You simply will not find a more detailed instructional video out there on this topic. We also give you some extra info and talk about other Harley related mechanical things in this video.

Harley Davidson Dealerships charge $300 plus for this basic service and easy safety inspection every 5,000 miles. To do this service yourself, all you need is this video, synthetic oil, and oil filter that costs between $100-$125. Then all you need is 1 hour of your time and you are done!

Now, imagine all the time and money you will save by not taking your motorcycle to the dealership every 5,000 miles and paying $300 plus for something you can easily do for much cheaper at your home.

For the low price of this video, you will be saving several thousands of dollars over the life of your Harley! Then you can put that money back into something worthwhile, like parts to dress up your Harley-right?-LOL

Morocycle-Biker-PodcastTools-Needed-for-Harley-Oil-ChangeYou don't need any real fancy tools, jack, or motorcycle lift for this. You can do this service and safety inspection right on the kickstand. We have done it this way for many years and serviced many Harley's. Here is a list of the simple tools you will need:

* Small Standard Screwdriver

* 3/8″ Ratchet

* 1/4″ Ratchet

* 3″ Extension for 3/8″ Ratchet

* 5/8″ Standard Socket

* 3/8″ Hex Socket for 3/8″ Ratchet (or just a Hex Drive Tool)

* 5/16″ Hex Socket for 3/8″ Ratchet (or just a Hex Drive Tool)

* Torx Drive Tool w/ size T-27 (or a Torx Socket for a 1/4″ Ratchet)

* Multi type Torx Tool w/ size T-27

* Oil Filter Removal Wrench w/ Cutout-Here is the part description and Harley part number (End Cap Oil Filter Wrench-94863-10)($10.95)

* Oil Drain Pan

* Funnel

Further, we talk about specification and capacities and break it down for you and for real life applications. We keep it simple, as it does not need to be difficult. This is really an easy thing to do! You will be kicking yourself for wasting money and wondering why you never did it yourself before.

There are no surprises in this video and we are completely confident you will be able to service your Harley Davidson completely on you own after viewing this video. We truly hope it helps many Harley-Davidson owners save a ton of money and discover the joys of wrenching on their own bike!

So what are you waiting for? Get the video NOW and stop wasting your hard earned money! Tell other riders and friends about this video.
