How To: Refit Battery Strap (The easy way!)

[RudiRulez]

Right ive seen too many post's about people struggling to refit theyre battery strap, sometimes even dealers snapping straps trying to fit them.

I thought id make a quick video on the proper way to do it!

Wow, that sure beats using brute force.....sometimes I do not think I am as evolved as I should be.
Caveman no use tools...

Good tip.

I'm at work so I can't see the vid yet, but I sure do wish my dealer new wtf he was doing before I bought my bike and found out my strap has been snapped since day one! [mad]

 

[xtremelow]

Hmmm, that look pretty dang simple maybe I will give it a shot just for shits and giggles

 

[anrkizm95]

could you send that vid to all the dealers.maybe even charge for it as a trainning video.[up]

Glad you like my video, first attempt i tried to hold the camera with one hand and the pliers with the other, bad idea.....led to an iphone being launched 5 foot across the patio all caught on video from a first person perspective!

Should have said 'slide and pull up', but was improvised on the spot and was kind of pissed off that id dropped my phone.

Oh...we definitely need that video, too!

i never thought it was very complicated either, but [up] for the video

good stuff, I always wondered why that ring was shaped goofy. I'm tempted to try it, but there's no way I'm pulling that strap off again until I have to.

Do you mind if I link that video onto buellmods.com?

 

[RudiRulez]

Feel free kyle, just give me some credit for it if you can i made an account on your site using the same username as on here, if i ever make a better one ill let you know so you can link to that instead, i plan to make some more instruction videos too so keep an eye out for them. [up]

Specially for miami , im surprised i managed to refrain from swearing, bloody iphone cost me 2 weeks pay!

 

[Miami78]

Haha, glad it survived![up] Thanks for sharing...I'm dropping mine all the time, too!

That's the evening's laugh. I'm surprised that there weren't bad words...


BTW, I can envision lots of rep points for you on the original vid. [up]

You must have that thing in an Otter box, mines hit the cement a few times in one, they work great

 

[RudiRulez]

I keep mine naked, not even a screen protector, dropped it at the petrol station the other day and took a nasty chunk out of it which im not happy about!

Your strap must be different than mine and a lot of people's. It took my friend and I (both of us are very strong guys) a good 20min of sweat and swearing to get my belt back on. Even using the method in the videos, it is a MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS.
