SOURCE: assy of starter clutch on 2003 Harley Davidson

The starter on a late model Harley is a typical Nippondenso gear reduction type starter. They are all basically the same except for size.
To replace the starter clutch inside the starter assembly requires disassembly of the starter assembly.

I you will contact me directly, I will scan the procedure and drawings out of a service manual for you.

SOURCE: replacing rear brake pads on 2004 harley davidson

Remove the two bolts that hold the caliper into the caliper bracket. Lift the caliper off the bracket and set aside. Do not crimp the hose as this can damage the hose on the inside.

Notice how the pads and the metal anti-rattle clips are positioned in the caliper bracket. Remove the old pads and clips and replace with the new parts. Make sure the rear pad is positioned with the fiber material towards the rotor. I've seen many put in metal to metal by good mechanics because it's on the backside of the rotor.

Now, you must compress the piston back into it's bore in the caliper. I use either a large C-clamp or a large pair of slip joint pliers to do this. Use a rag or something to prevent scratching the paint on your caliper. With the piston compressed completely back into it's bore, carefully replace the caliper into the caliper bracket. Do not disturb the pads or clips.
Install the two bolts with a bit of blue Loctite #242 medium hold on the threads and torque to 20 foot pounds. Check the level of the brake fluid in the master cylinder.

Slowly depress the rear brake pedal and release until you have a full firm pedal. Test the brakes before you ride the bike. Improperly serviced brakes can cause serious injury or death. Make sure they work correctly before riding the bike.

Good Luck
Steve

SOURCE: how to change engine oil on a 2000 harley davidson

On the right hand side of the bike, look under the bottom of the oil tank. You should see a large hose or pipe running from the bottom of the tank down behind the transmission. It follows the frame down low behind the exhaust system. Now, Harley changed the location of the plug and I don't know what year they did it. The plug will be a metal plug stuck into the end of the hose or it will be a screw in plug under the frame in the cross brace. Just follow the large hose to the end and you'll find the plug.

Good Luck
Steve

Rear brake light does not work when I apply the front brake

It's the brake light switch.
Sometimes it gets gummed up, or it just goes bad.

Figure yours has been in use for a decade, so you might need to change it.

I put about 3500 miles on since I had all the fluids changed on this bike, I bought it with 2300 miles when I had the fluids changed initially, so do I need to change them all again?

You should change the oil at least once a year wether you ride it or not and after about 5,000 miles from the last change. Brake fluid should be changed about every 5 years or when you notice a decrease in braking sensation.
