Bus error, engine, battery and security light flashing. Speedo also acting up. Why?
With all these different symptoms, I would start looking for a bad earth connection. Check all earth connections starting at the battery earth. Softails are inclined to corrode all the connections behind the rear wheel splash plate (behind the oil tank). Also, I have seen the wiring loom damaged under the seat right beside the battery connections. The cause of this is usually a non Harley battery with longer than stock connections and they rub against the loom shorting into it. This in turn can and has damaged ECU's.

How to replace front and rear brake pads 07 custom
Yes, the pistons will have to be pushed into the calipers. After removing the calipers from their mounts, remove the old pads. A C clamp works well for pushing the pistons in, just be careful not to damage the pistons. Using one of the old pads to push against may help. After installing the new pads, and remounting the calipers, don't forget to pump the brake levers until they feel firm. Also check the brake fluid levels. Good luck!
