Were you running a semi battery Pete? I never had that kind of luck when I lost a charging system. I gotta start riding with you!:newsmile100:I rode my Dyna from Tallahassee, FL to home, nearly 200 miles of Interstate highway on just the battery. I disconnected my headlight, but still had the turn signal running lights, tail and stop light. I found a gas station on a hill when I needed fuel, so I could bump start. It was running fine when I pulled into the garage, but I was a tense bundle of nerves. I don't want to do that again.
