Not really. It's generally way too humid. Summer humidity here seldom drops below 80%

Got the wiring all finished. Basically every connector on the bike has been R&R'd and the vast majority has been cleaned up, detangled, unused wires removed, and wrapped with Techflex with shrink wrap at the ends. Tedious and time consuming work but I felt compelled to do it.

Lol. Gotta stay hydrated. The empty gas gauge hole was convenient place to keep the liquid motivation handy.
