    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

anyone have any input on my wiring?
Uhhh ... yeah.

Are you keeping the charging system?

If that is absolutely EVERYTHING that is on your bike, you will be limited to rides of 30-60 minutes and will have to connect your bike to a battery charger when you get home.

And to address your question about fuses, remember that a fuse does not protect a device on the bike. A fuse is installed to protect the bike when that device fails. Ideally, you would have a fuse feeding every electrical device (system). In other words, it's not necessary to have separate fuses for the headlight and tail light, one fuse for "lights" will do just fine.

Sorry for the confusion . I only made the diagram to show my ignition system, and didn't really figure that I needed to show the charging system since all that is still hooked up correctly

I'd like to see a photo of you sitting on that bike. A side view please.

Also, do you have any mufflers?

it is headers with no exhaust. The previous owner did that but I want to clean it up and weld on a exhaust tip, rewrap the headers , and repaint the frame
