Did you try and re-key, or is it the original cylinder?? It's common for that type of bike so your not alone.. You can fix it yourself but educate your self first, but if I were you bring it to your nearest Harley Davidson location.. it will take them 45 minutes and won't cost a fortune. If you want to go-ahead yourself here is a video for you..

NO you do not need to

it should be under the seat, there will be a rectangular black cover over the relays and fuses

Well, you could have one problem or more than one problem. First check the bulbs. If you have any bulbs that are not lighting up in the turn signals, this will stop them from blinking on that side. Once you're sure the bulbs are good, the best thing to do is to work with one problem at the time.

First the brake light. Take the bulb out of the socket, turn on the ignition switch and have someone step on the rear brake. Use a volt meter or test light inserted into the socket to check for voltage on both contacts in the socket since the brake light and the tail light should be on at this time. If there is no voltage on the contacts, check the rear brake light switch. There is a metal brake line that comes out of the rear master cylinder. Follow this line back towards the rear brake. Underneath the bike you'll find a pressure switch. With the ignition switch on, you should have voltage to one of the two connectors. In not, you have an electrical wiring problem. If you do and the light is not coming on when you press on the rear brake, replace the pressure switch. This should get the brake light working for the rear brake at least. If the front brake does not cause the brake light to come on, the front brake light switch is probably bad. It's located inside the right handlebar switch house along with the throttle grip. You have to take the switch housing apart to replace the switch.

For the turn signals, if you will contact me directly at [email protected], I will send you four pages of troubleshooting for your turn signal system. Please remind me of what you need.

Good Luck

A website called Motorcycleid.com that offers a variety of parts and accessories for your Harley Davidson, including battery mounts and hardware. I couldn't find the exact size of the bolt that fits the battery box on your 2005 Harley Davidson Lierider. However, you can try contacting Harley Davidson's customer service at 1-800-258-2464 and ask them for the bolt size . They may be able to help you locate the bolt or suggest an alternative

Put key in on position for ten min......then try it

It will be printed on the back of the watch or better still, look on the old battery.

The Harley forums are full of great advice.

Replacing the kickstand on a Harley FXRT requires some disassembly and careful handling. Here are the general steps to replace the kickstand:

1. Preparation: Ensure you have the necessary tools, a new kickstand, and any replacement parts such as bushings or cotter pins.
2. Safety precautions: Place the motorcycle on a stable surface and secure it with a stand or by having someone hold it steady. Put on protective gear such as gloves and safety glasses.
3. Removing the cotter pin: Locate the cotter pin that holds the kickstand in place. It is usually located near the pivot point where the kickstand attaches to the frame. Use pliers or a cotter pin removal tool to remove the cotter pin.
4. Detaching the kickstand: Once the cotter pin is removed, carefully slide the kickstand out from its mounting bracket. You may need to gently tap it to loosen it if it's stuck. Take note of any bushings or spacers that may be present on the cotter pin side of the kickstand.
5. Inspecting and replacing parts: Examine the removed kickstand for any damage or wear. If there is a missing bushing or the kickstand is worn, replace it with a new one. Additionally, inspect the mounting bracket and other related parts for any signs of damage or wear. Replace any damaged or worn parts as necessary.
6. Installing the new kickstand: Insert the new kickstand into the mounting bracket, making sure it aligns properly. If there were bushings or spacers on the cotter pin side, ensure they are in place before inserting the kickstand. Slide it in fully, allowing it to rest in its proper position.
7. Securing the kickstand: Insert a new cotter pin through the designated hole on the kickstand and frame bracket. Ensure it passes through completely and securely. If necessary, bend the ends of the cotter pin to prevent it from slipping out.
8. Testing and adjustments: Before fully tightening any bolts, test the kickstand by lowering it and verifying that it extends and retracts smoothly. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper operation.
9. Final steps: Once you are satisfied with the installation and functionality of the new kickstand, reassemble any other components or parts that were removed during the process. Double-check that all fasteners are securely tightened.

It's important to consult the specific service manual or instructions for your Harley FXRT model for detailed guidance. If you are not confident in performing the replacement yourself, it's recommended to seek assistance from a professional motorcycle mechanic.
