Default Dry wires

I wanted to takethe seat off of my Dyna when I washed it so as to not waterlog the seat. When I took the seat off it exposed all of the electrical components and connections that I also did not want to get wet.

My solution was Glad Press and Seal wrap from the kitchen. I tore off a piece and pressed it down on to the frame to form a cover for the electrical components and washed away. Once done washing the bike, the Glad Press and Seal lifted right off and left no residue and dry electronics behind.
