The problem is they zipped tied the wire to the frame back by the battery and the vibrations cut the wire.

Or sorry. Someone else built it ( I know the motorcycle shop that built it ) then they sold it to a guy locally and he's had it since 2005 until a couple of months ago. It's built on a soft tail frame with a rev tech 100 CI and a 5 speed with a 180 back tire. Nothing to fancy but I like it
