You will also need another battery soon, as that 17+ volts did quite a number on your brand new one.

Get into dags svc manual-the job will go a little easier. Just remember to disconnect the battery before you start ANY electrical procedure. RIDE SAFE.

It is not mechanically-difficult/rocket-science... it is just (*&$%!! awkward, there's not enough
room to do what you need to do... but if you have patience, you can do it. If you don't have patience,
there's a large chance you'll take a sledge hammer to your Valkyrie after an hour or two  coolsmiley ...

Mac, in Tennessee, thinks it is easy... and he is right.. after I messed with it a while, finally I twisted it
just right and it plopped right in... apparently Mac can plop it right in on the first try...
