    Thinking about purchasing a 2014 California Custom

    Search the forums here. Yes, there is a thread with a couple of fix ideas. Jim

    Thinking about purchasing a 2014 California Custom

    Check the cruise control on the test ride. Mine is intermittent. At 19000 miles I've yet to experience the cracked H-pipe problem... Jim

    Cracked Cal 14 Exhaust Parts

    I have a 2014 Custom. It appears mine has had a similar issue (18000 miles). Was hoping this common problem would skip me. Oh well... Todd's solution is a good one of course, but not something I can afford. Luckily, I have a few friends who can weld locally. We'll figure something out eventually....

    1400 Eldorado Emissions Sticker?

    My 2014 Cali 1400 Custom has them stuck on the rear fender and frame rails under the seat. And they're still there on my bike at least... ;-) Jim

    Audace Hard Saddle Bags

    Umm, no. I moved and had the bike shipped, and so removed the bags. Haven't run across them yet in the unpacking. They were a very simple S shape, 1/4" mild steel, around 10" in length, maybe 4 holes on each end (it WAS a universal bracket after all)... Top attach point was up at the luggage...

    Audace Hard Saddle Bags

    I bought a pair of the hard plastic bags for my 1972 Ambassador around 6 years ago. They worked great on it (using the factory bent flat iron brackets) for a couple of years. I then moved them over to my 2014 California 1400 Custom. Was able to find mounting points with the factory brackets (I...

    License Plate Relocation?

    Dead simple. Mine only needed one bolt. Seems like one of the muffler mounting bolts (or maybe it was one of the rear footpeg bolts) was convenient. It was a 15 minute job (with the wiring as part of that). Good luck with it...

    License Plate Relocation?

    Here's how I did mine. Generic Harley frame from Dennis Kirk. LEDs were easy to get spliced into the factory wiring.

    My new to me, 2016 Eldorado has Moto Guzzi Multimedia as well! OMG !!!

    I've had Mistrals on my 2014 Cali 1400 Custom since the 4th month. Uncorked they sound even better... ;-)

    Rear Luggage rack on a 2016 eldorado...has anybody installed one ?

    Nor did I have to cut anything with the Cali rack. It was just a very tight installation due to short bolts...

    Rear Luggage rack on a 2016 eldorado...has anybody installed one ?

    Just noticed your comment. Don't have a link, other than AF1's catalog (that's where I bought it in 2015). Good Luck with finding one that doesn't cost as much as a diamond ring. Jim

    Wrench Service Icon Reset recently anyone?

    You swapped one coast for another, eh? We lived in San Juan Capistrano back in the 1980's. Wish I'd had this Cali 1400 Custom back then. Sunday drives on the Ortega Canyon Highway would've been a lot more fun... Anyway, in Pasadena, Maryland now. Anne Arundel County (Annapolis is down the...

    Wrench Service Icon Reset recently anyone?

    Guess what? You were absolutely correct. Golden, and passed a Maryland State Inspection with flying colors, nary a snag. I've done a couple of these intra-state moves and registrations over the last 30 years. Easiest one so far. Thanks again... Jim

    Wrench Service Icon Reset recently anyone?

    You know, I'm not certain. I'll try it once again shortly. Thanks for the reminder... Jim

    Wrench Service Icon Reset recently anyone?

    Thanks. Maybe I need to do a complete reset (leave the + lead off the battery a bit). But you've obviously been around the block. Any other issues you can think of that might cause a Service icon? This bike has been in storage for the last year with a tender on the battery. Fired right up after...

    Wrench Service Icon Reset recently anyone?

    I used the code 34534 to reset the icon at the 6000 mile mark. I just ignored it at the 12000 mile point. Now I'm at 18000, and thought I would reset today. Guess what? It won't reset. Tried 3 times. Hasn't been to a dealer since new. Do I have another issue? Jim

    Reset Codes for the Cali 1400 Custom?

    Unfortunately 34534 doesn't seem to be working on my 2014 Cali 1400 Custom anymore. Tried it 3 times this morning. A little over 18000. IIRC I used this code at the 6000 mile mark, but just ignored the wrench at the 12000 milestone. Now it won't reset... Jim

    2016 Eldo Trickle Charge - need to remove fuse?

    2014 Cali 1400 Custom. Been using a marine battery maintainer since 2015. No issues...

    A question re mufflers, are they symmetrical?

    Interesting... My 2014 Custom with Mistrals bought in 2015 don't seem to show this disparity. As it's 38F and raining, don't think I'm going out to look right now. Rest assured I will though.... ;-)
