    I agree.I dont like it when something goes wrong and there is no logical reason for it.It makes it much harder for me to fix.But overall, I really like working on my bike.Not all the time though.

    Another view.It wont do to replace harness if underlying problem isnt solved,else the new harness will be ruined too.I would imagine another harness is expensive.

    Windshield

    I have owned several bikes and on several of them I used the sportshield, it has ranged from 110 to 130.They take a lot of wind off your chest and shoulders.You still need goggles or a faceshield, the wind comes right over the top.But it does make for much less fatigue at 50 or more mph.
