This is such a true statement. I had a 91 ultra that kept blowing fuses on the radio and I finally replaced it. Those wires get old and brittle, relays start to go bad and tracing an electric problem on one of those can take days to find and even then you can't be totally sure. Putting in a new radio is a couple hundred bucks and an hour.

Yup, I think that's where I'm at. Probably just wait until the winter, tear it all down and get it ready for next spring. Don't want to spend all this time during the summer just for music........rather be riding it!
