I'm sure this has been covered before, but i'm just now putting the kit on. How does one put the nut on the bottom of the "new" front bolt for the ECM? | ||

Two methods have been used with varying success: #1- don't completely remove the old bolt from the nut. Loosen it, remove the other bolt from the ECM, and pivot the ECM out of the way for the duct installation, pivot back, and re-tighten. #2- if you've already removed the old bolt and the nut's fallen out, glue the nut back in place with epoxy, hot glue, or similar and then install the new bolt. | ||

thank you hugh. | ||

#3-Stuff the ECM into the area in front of the battery and you'll never have to mess with the darned nut again. As an added bonus your seat pan won't crack the potting at the base of the upper connector. | ||

That stupid nut is loose on mine and I can't tighten the darn thing...it doesn't stay put and I can't get a wrench in there. | ||

You might try a pair of locking forceps. I was able to clamp on the nut and tighten the bolt up using this method. | ||
| Blasterd |
I'll pick a set up and give it a try, thanks dirt. | ||

I read somewhere about someone dremmeling out a little square of plastic on the shroud then taping it back giving access to the nut in the future. A little Ghetto, but all our bikes will be in the coming years  | ||

I screwed a "well nut" for wood (very aggressive threads) down into the hole (from the top) after MANY attempts to anchor the OEM nut (what a FUBAR!). Just something I grabbed out of my hardware salvage pile from some random piece of junky put-it-together-yourself furniture. I really kind of like Rwven's suggestion though, since my ECM had cracks in the filler goop around the connectors about a month ago. | ||

After about an hour of trying to wedge the nut up thru the shock while doing the kit, I gave up, mixed up some JB weld and put a blob of it on the threads of the bolt with it thru the ECM, and a little on the mounting point. Then seated it and let it cure. If I ever need to remove it, the bolt should back out of the epoxy easily enough. | ||

I'd like to take credit for it but I got the idea from another BadWebber right here on BB&D. I posted some pics of what I did here: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/575352.html?1277679794 Been like this for the past 5000 miles with no issues related to the "UNstallation". | ||

I know it's not the most refined method, but I managed to get the nut started, then just twisted the ECM until the nut was wedged in. As I slowly tightened the bolt, I released pressure on the ECM until the nut was tight. It would likely make a pro cringe, but it worked. PITA Tim | ||

Rwven #3-Stuff the ECM into the area in front of the battery You got a pic of that?  | ||

Yamafreak, the link to some pics is two posts above yours..... | ||

Great I got them Thanks | ||

finally got it fixed. I found a nut with a slightly larger od so that it just barely fit into slot designed for it. took the pan back out and put the nut on the bolt and snugged it up so the ecm barely pivoted [left the back bolt out until other pieces were secure] and then put the pan back. still had a little problem with the nut turning, but took a screwdriver and put upward pressure on the piece and finally got it snugged up. why didn't they just put a threaded piece in the pan like the back bolt???? every thing worked fine and it ran great, but the check engine lite won't go off. i changed plugs at the same time. a 10 minute job that takes about an hour!!! dealer says they will check it tomorrow. | ||

As a slight threadjack, what is the part # for the comfort kit? I called my dealership the other day and they had no idea what I was talking about. | ||
| Froggy |
Loud_greg, for your 06 domestic bike, you want M1907.1AK | ||

Ulysses rider comfort kit Part # M1907.1AK Retail was $119.95 Husky | ||

Sweet, thanks, guys. For some reason, this season more than the last couple, I'm really noticing the heat off the right side of the bike. | ||
| Loves_to_ride |
Found out about the check engine lite. I had neglected to plug in the exhaust valve actuator connector into the ECM. It had got wrapped under the harness and wasn't visible. Kit really made a difference keeping heat off the right side. | ||

If my mind still works, the inner fender must be removed to install the kit and thats were the nut is right? I had no problem with mine. Or is my mind just shot?  | ||
| Rwven |
The instructions call for the inner fender to be removed. I installed mine without removing anything at all......all you need is a hot day (so the part is flexible) and a clear mind... | ||

I used a tiny bit of super glue on the tip of my finger and put the nut on it to get it started. Once it was on the bolt I was able to wedge a large screw driver against the nut to hold it while I tightened the bolt head. |
