Had To Let Her Go!!!

Had To Let Her Go!!!

I absolutely loved this bike when it worked… but once the extended warranty ran out I simply couldn’t afford to keep chasing problems. Unfortunately the Harley shops were never able to get it consistently reliable 😩

If anyone is looking for Pan America accessories, hit me up. I’d be willing to let everything go together for a good package price.

Included:• Harley-Davidson panniers with mounting brackets• Harley-Davidson upgraded skid plate• Harley-Davidson seat• Radiator guard• Screamin’ Eagle slip-on exhaust• Extra set of handguards with brackets.

New version or termination?

Growing rumors say Harley-Davidson does not intend to continue with the Panamerica project .

Instead, according to some magazines, the new version will arrive soon

Let's talk about a 2021 bike....

Ho messo pneumatici nuovi alla mia Panamerica

Dopo aver tenuto le Dunlop Mutant ho montato le Pirelli Tral II sulla mia Harley-Davidson Panamerica.

Non saranno buone come le altre ma costano meno

Pan America 1250 Special with ARH as a first bike?

I’m a 28-year-old guy, about 5’10” and around 185 pounds. I’ve been interested in getting a motorcycle for a long time, but I’m still probably a few years out from actually buying one. For a long time I thought I wanted an Iron 883, but lately the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special has really been catching my attention, especially one with Adaptive Ride Height.

I’ve never owned or ridden a street bike. I’ve ridden 4 wheelers and stuff like that, but I know riding a motorcycle on the road is a whole different thing. I’m not trying to jump straight into something I can’t handle, so I’m mainly just trying to learn and get a realistic idea of the process.

For those of you who ride a Pan America 1250 Special, would it be a terrible first bike if someone took the MSF course first and got some proper practice in? Does ARH make it more manageable for a beginner at stops and low speeds, or is it still just too big, tall, and powerful for someone new? I like the idea of eventually taking the wife on some cool scenic trips, maybe doing some camping and such with the bike, which is part of why the Pan America looks so appealing.

I’m also curious how people here got started. Did you take the MSF course before buying a bike? Did you use the bike they provided, or did you already have your own? Did you start on something smaller and then move up, or did you buy the bike you actually wanted from the start?

I’d also like to hear what gear you bought first and when. Did you buy a helmet, jacket, gloves, boots, etc. before the MSF course, right after, or only once you bought your first bike? Any gear you wish you had bought earlier or skipped entirely?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who came from no street-bike experience, or people who got into riding later rather than growing up around motorcycles.

Not looking to buy right now. Just trying to understand what the smart path looks like and whether the Pan America 1250 Special with ARH is something to keep dreaming about or something I should work up to after starting smaller.

Loving this bike.

Ive had the bike for a month.

Immediately installed bar risers, highway pegs, rear fender eliminator, and a bigger windshield.

Some mods im looking into is a new seat, toce exhaust, mid controls, and perhaps a road glide style fairing at somepoint. The mid controls and fairing really depends on what kind of design and fab is required. I dont want to to anything too complicated 😂

The seat is fine when my feet are up on the highway pegs, but the the angle the bike seats you at with the factory controls isnt the best. I feel like my ass is angled forward too much for the kind of riding I do. So im thinking a seat that has more material up front and a little less in the back would be nice.

The mid controls are expensive! $2000 shipped is crazy. I have access to cnc machines and have friends that can help with programs but idk where to start with taking measurements, among other concerns.

I love the bike and i'd recommend one to anyone. Good at everything and would even make a good beginner bike imo.

Normal noise?

2024 PAS w/ 5,300 miles, 14.1 volts idling. Is this the timing/ valve train sound? I bought this bike used a few months ago and the weather is finally starting to improve around here. I've noticed this noise over my last few rides. So far, I love it to death. But I'm curious about this rattle/ticking

Just traded my 06’ Dyna for this Grey ST.

My buddy bought the black ST a week ago, I rode it once and had to get my own. They look pretty awesome together!

Sportster S owner needs your help cracking the QS calibration

I'll start by saying I don't have a Pan Am - I have a '23 Sportster S. I'm super envious of the quick shifter you guys get, and I want to try and install the SE quick shifter on my bike. I know there are physical constraints and wiring to sort out, but that's all stuff I can handle on my own.

What I can't tackle alone is the software side. The Revolution Max in both bikes shares the same ECU family, and the pins on the ECU where the QS plugs in on the Pan Am are present but unused on the Sportster S. The hardware is there, it just needs to be enabled in the calibration.

That's where I'm asking for your help. I'm looking to get my hands on a stock **.stk file** pulled from a **Pan Am Special** (no QS from the factory) and a **Pan Am ST or Limited** (QS from the factory). Same platform, same engine, and the only meaningful difference in those cal files should be whatever Harley flips to enable the quick shifter. If I can find that, I can try to apply it to the Sportster S cal and see if it wakes up.

If you have a PV3 or PV4 and are willing to pull your stock cal and share it, I'd really appreciate it. You'd be helping crack something nobody has done yet on the Sportster S. Let me know.
