I have a 2011 Softail Heritage Classic. I'm interested in turning on the Engine Idle Temperature Management System (EITMS). If I understand correctly this feature automatically shuts off rear cylinder at stops and auto restarts. According to my owners manual this feature comes from the factory in the OFF position.
Function. Frame sliders have a very simple purpose: protect your bike in the event of a crash. Specifically, they will come in handy in the event of a lowside type crash, where you lose traction and your motorcycle slides out from under you and down the road.
Motorcycles and Motorcycling. Personally, I would opt for sandblastingâglass beads for the tank, and regular sand for the frame. I've done bicycle frames on many occasions, and it's usually just $10-20 with almost no effort on my part, other than taping off areas I didn't want blasted (e.g., threaded holes). It's worth noting that your motorcycle frame is probably not painted, but powdercoated. This is much more durable than paint, and I'd advise you to think long and hard before trying to strip it off by any means.
