Beware of Harley WHIM Headset Module Firmware Update! Missing Boom Box Configuration Menu!

May 4, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 1 Comment

Missing “config” tab and “status”

Since updating my Harley-Davidson Wireless Headset Interface Module “WHIM” to the latest version 1.1.4 firmware I have been having problems. My Harley stamped Sena 30k mesh & 20s wireless Bluetooth headsets will pair & I can hear music, however, the status and configuration menu tab in the Harley Boom Box menu are missing along with other audio settings. (see video below with detailed info)

Make sure you see my previous WHIM video and article on this issue

How Wireless Headset Screen Should Look

Also, after updating the Harley WHM firmware, each time I go into the Boom Box wireless headset menu it shows it’s disabled and I have to enable it again. After much testing, I decided to revert to an older WHIM firmware update, version 1.0.2, and it immediately fixed the problem on two separate WHIM modules I was testing. Clearly, version 1.1.4 is corrupt and can break your Harley WHIM. I really hope this helps many in the biker community diagnose and fix this issue.

This process may or may not work for you and any testing or reverting of firmware is at your own risk.

WHIM version 1.0.2

Harley Boom Box WHIM Failed After 1 Year-Recall Coming? How to Fix

April 28, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 2 Comments

Missing “config” tab and “status”

After using the Harley-Davidson Wireless Headset Interface Module “WHIM” for 1 1/2 years it failed on me. It would only complete a partial software load on startup. (see video below with detailed info)

On the Harley Boom Box!™ Infotainment System, I was missing the headset status and configuration tab when paring my Harley stamped Sena 30K mesh and Sena 20 S wireless Bluetooth headsets. I tried updating the firmware on my Harley Sena headsets, the WHIM, and my Boom Box. That didn't fix the issue.

I unplugged the WHIM and the Harley master fuse trying to reset the WHIM. I finally went to a Harley Dealership and plugged my Boom Box into the Digital Technician Software to try and fix it and that didn’t work either.

How Wireless Headset Screen Should Look

I had to actually buy a new WHIM and replace the corrupt unit and it fixed all the problems immediately. I really wonder how big of a problem this is and if others are experiencing it?

Best Harley LED Headlight Bulb + Indian-Rivco H4 Halogen to LED? Night Riding!

April 24, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 4 Comments

Are you searching for the best Harley LED headlight bulb for the money? There are many Harley LED headlight bulbs on the market and it can be hard to decipher which are good and which are junk. Be careful and do your research. Search this website and our YouTube Channel as we have a ton of Harley LED headlight reviews and tutorials available. Less than reputable Amazon & eBay sellers reach out to us often here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media wanting us to carry their Harley or Indian LED headlight bulbs in our online store or to review them. We quickly say no after looking at them as they are very low quality.

GET A RIVCO LED HEADLIGHT BULB FOR HARLEY AND INDIAN HERE (Best Harley LED Headlight Bulb)
- Check your specific fitment information

The Rivco LED headlight bulb for Harley & Indian motorcycles simply replaces your dull stock H4 halogen bulb. It will fit an array of makes and models of motorcycles and it's an easy plug and play installation. Check out the below YouTube video as we install a Rivco LED headlight bulb on a Harley. We also do a nighttime riding comparison between the Rivco LED headlight bulb for Harley & Indian & a stock Harley halogen bulb. You'll quickly realize why the Rivco LED is the best Harley LED headlight bulb out there.

You might be asking if the Rivco LED headlight bulb is as bright as a full blown aftermarket headlight replacement, meaning replacement of the entire headlight unit and not just the bulb. The answer is, no, it's not as bright as a full LED headlight replacement. However, it is a more budget-conscious option and it's still way brighter than that stock H4 halogen bulb. The Rivco is less than $100 whereas a full aftermarket LED headlight replacement for Harley is from $400-$600.

For the best full Harley & Indian LED headlight unit replacement, we suggest a Vision X XMC LED Headlight. We also did a complete review and nigh testing video on the Vision X XMC LED Headlight.

The Rivco LED headlight produces a super-bright 3000-lumen output. It is much brighter than factory H4 bulbs which range from only 1000-1650 lumens. The Rivco LED headlight kit turns nighttime darkness into the day with 6000-Kelvin of pure white light. In contrast, your factory halogen bulbs are rated at 3200-Kelvin and produce a more yellow-tinted light. The Rivco LED-100 will also allow you to see 30% farther and 15% wider than your factory halogen bulbs.

The results of our nighttime ride tests are astounding and you'll realize how unsafe it is to ride during the day or night with the stock halogen bulb. The Rivco LED headlight bulb will let you see way better when riding your motorcycle at night, but will also keep you much safer when riding during the day, as it will be seen by motorists much easier because it's so bright. Seeing a nighttime road hazard on your motorcycle just a split second earlier could save your life.

We run many Rivco LED headlight bulbs on our Harley-Davidson motorcycles here at Law Abiding Biker Media and trust them. That's why we carry them right in the Law Abiding Biker Online Store! Why settle? Get the best Harley LED headlight bulb now and ride safer!

Best Two Saddlebag Safety Bolts for Harley-Davidson Baggers

March 28, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 4 Comments

Many have tried to make aftermarket Harley saddlebag safety bolts over the years. I wanted to share with you what I believe are the best two options, each varying in price. Harley-Davidson has had issues over the years with saddlebags actually coming off while riding down the road. Forget the damage to the saddlebag it causes, but that could be very serious if you're riding in a group or for any other motorists following you. Forget those flimsy stock quarter turn pins that we have all dealt with for years and never really trusted. Harley-Davidson even had several recalls on those 1/4 turn pins and my 2014 Harley Street Glide Special had a recall on them. They just replaced the pins with different pins and a spring nut and they are still junk. (see video below for further info)

In more recent years, starting on 2017 Harley models, Harley replaced the failing 1/4 turn pin system with a clunky ratchet type handle. It's a better system, but still very clunky to use and not completely trusted. Plus, every time you try to get gear out of your saddlebag you get hung up on that lever. We wanted to combat these problems with an affordable, yet high-quality Harley saddlebag safety bolt kit, and we brought it right to the Law Abiding Biker™ Store. We have received a ton of positive feedback on this kit.

Both of the options we provide make taking your Harley saddlebags off and on a breeze. And you can assure when fastened, your saddlebags will be very secure and not come off going down the road. Both saddlebag safety bolt versions can be taken on or off with thumb dials and NO TOOLS ARE NEEDED! Many other saddlebag bolts out there require wrenches and that's just a hassle.

1st Option: Rickrak Stainless Steel Saddlebag Safety Bolts for Harley-Davidson

This is our higher end saddlebag safety bolt kit option. The kit includes everything you need to install the Rickrak Saddlebag Safety Bolts. You get the spring nuts to be placed on your bike, the stainless steel machined knobs with bolts, stainless Steel washers, and retaining washers. This Rickrak solution for Harley saddlebag safety looks great on your bike and offers superior heavy duty stainless steel safety. Set of 4 included in the kit.

2nd Option: Law Abiding Biker Branded Polymer Saddlebag Safety Bolts for Harley-Davidson by Rickrak

These are a less expensive version of Harley saddlebag safety bolts. They are still high-quality and a great option. Instead of having a stainless steel knob, these have a black polymer knob, which brings the costs down. The knob is dimpled, making it easy to grip and turn. These are our exclusive Law Abiding Biker Branded Saddlebag Safety Bolts for Harley-Davidson, made by Rickrak. Set of 4 included in the kit.

Motorcycle Lane Splitting is for Fools?

March 25, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher 1 Comment

In the below video, I talk about the fact that motorcycle lane splitting or lane filtering may be legalized and coming to your state in 2019? California is still the only state where motorcycle lane splitting is legal and many other states are watching closely. Unfortunately, lane splitting has become a rather controversial topic. Mostly, by those that don't understand the many benefits of motorcycle lane splitting & don't ride motorcycles themselves.

The following states are in different stages of possibly legalizing motorcycle lane splitting:

Maryland, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, Texas, and Hawaii. If legalized, each state has its own ideas and rules on how motorcycle lane splitting can be done. Examples are, whether it can only be done when traffic is stopped and at what speeds you can actually do it.

Video-How to Install Ciro 3D Shock & Awe 2.0 on Your Harley-Davidson & How to use the Smartphone App

March 14, 2019 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

In this completely free tutorial video, we show you how to install a quality Ciro 3D Shock & Awe 2.0 LED Engine Kit on your Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I strongly suggest you add Ciro 3D Front Mounted Illuminators and Saddlebag Extension LED's to complete the look. You can add these additional items at the time of your purchase in the Law Abiding Biker™ Store if you choose. The basic Engine Kit LED's light your V-Twin motor. The Fork Mounted Illuminators light your front wheel and the Saddlebag Extension Kit LED's light the underside of your saddlebags and mufflers. It is a great overall look! This LED kit will fit any motorcycle with a 12-volt system. The kits are universal but in this video, we show you how to install it on a Harley touring model.

Beware: The market is saturated with cheap LED lights for motorcycles. I can tell you from experience that there is a great degree of variance in the quality of motorcycle LED lights. If you buy some cheap unknown brand LED lights from Amazon or eBay then you'll get what you pay for. No, they won't last and y0u'll be throwing your money away. Good luck getting one of those unknown sellers to refund you. On the other hand, Ciro 3D backs their products and offers support. They are actual bikers like us here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media.

GET THE CIRO 3D SHOCK & AWE 2.0 LED KIT IN OUR STORE HERE!

The new Ciro 3D Shock & Awe 2.0 LED Engine Kit comes with a controller (brain) box and it has three separate channels. You can hook up your Engine Kit LED's to one channel, your Front Fork Illuminators to another, and your Saddlebag Extension Kit LED's to the last channel. Within the free Ciro 3D smartphone app (IOS or Android) you can then individually control each zone/channel to make it a different color and/or perform different functions such as breath or flash! See our complete Ciro 3D smartphone app tutorial video below.
