A skunk in the works

[SVSooke]

Since the left side was the same style as the 1000's I got that off the guy to.Saves me having to rewire the one I have.

[SVSooke]

Didn't think to take a before pic of this one but here's the afters.


Here's the before of the left side,right looked pretty much the same reasonable shape.

Something was nesting in the right one though.Any ideas what.Came from Lebanon TN FYI.

Liking the finished product,but do I have the switch levers right way around?

Mud dauber nest. It's a type of wasp.

[SVSooke]

Ahhhhh I thought wasp,heard of mud daubers but I'm pretty sure we don't have them here.Thank you Ian.

Looked at the harness again,it looks worse than I thought. So http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=203064 .If no one has one to part with I guess I will have to patch this one up.

Wow - that thing is toasted bad. By the time you've fixed it, you could have made a new one - and probably will. I hope you find a new one, I wouldn't trust that one.

Bugger Greg, she sure looks toasty!

Hopefully you can get another harness otherwise it will be salvageable but you'll probably need to strip all the sheathing off and check it out thoroughly, replacing any individual wires that have the insulation melted off and have blackened cores. That would be a lot of effort...

Well as luck would have it I did find another harness.Not here I'm sad to say but over at http://www.bcclassicmotorcycleclub.c...k=click&bid=12 .Getting a fusebox and the stock separate regulator and regulator with it.A spare solenoid as well.With the "new" bar pods I should be good to go

[pete]

Excellent!

[SVSooke]

Third time sending the payment it got there.Seems some dumb twit wrote the address wrongGot Kelly to write it off the email and guess what

Note to self:NEVER write stuff like this yourself,let Kelly do it

[SVSooke]

Look what came in the mail today

This makes it a C harnessEven has the rubber thing to hold it to the frame.At last I can get going again.Now knowing I burned up the thing the last time dare I try my more modern R/R and fuse box? Or just keep this set up?

[Big T]

Test it, put it on and try it - no harm there as you can change the R/R out at the panel as needed

Isn't that little box the turn signal control for an E model?

[SVSooke]

As far as I know the TSCU on the E has a bunch of wires going to it.It's one of those auto cancel things the Japanese tried.the 78 E was one of the first ones out and are a PITA from all accounts.The 2 wire flasher make this a C harness.
