That's a pretty scary story. I took a look at the underseat setup on my 2004 Heritiage classic. It's still snowed in the barn with the battery out. The positive battery cable has a second layer of red plastic about 1 inch long covering the wire at the end near the battery terminal. I also noticed there is black plastic zip tied to the frame rails where they wrap around the battery box. It came from the factory like that. If I understand the earlier posts, those seem to be the trouble spots. Are these things missing from the newer models?
