While I thank you for the invite I'm gonna decline.
I've eaten at Bluebonnet Café once and that was all it took for me to decide I didn't ever want to do it again.
What is wrong with you mang. That place has great food and the best pies in Texas. My only complaint is there's always a line coming out the door. Peanut butter chocolate pie, triple decker man.
This weekend I'll repair my screw up and post a pic.
After I'm all in on liking what I have on my electrical, I'll tackle the mess the PO made on the back side. Clean that **** up like a shiny penny.
It's been a heavy week since I sprayed the final clear coat. Maybe the weekend after Christmas I can start with the rubbing compound, Polish, wax dance to start putting this beast back together. After I'm comfortable with going a decent distance, first beers on my Buddy THC at Riley's.
Hooked the ground back up on the battery and everything is back to serenity.
I had two pinched wires at the right switchpak.

So Very common there should be a Sticky in everyone's Shop... Handlebar wiring and switch assembly, should Take Twice as Long, as most spend at it!!!!

Maybe that was the problem I had scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, and toast but not a pie.
Just to be clear you are talking about The bluebonnet café in Marble Falls right?
FWIW there was no line when I was there.

Just out of curiosity why did you use crimp fittings instead of solder?
I am not sure why so many people think solder is better...solder makes the wire brittle next to solder joint, and in cases of high vibration...like a solid mounted Harley motor... can break...
If you used high quality crimp connectors, and a good crimper it is not possible to get the wires apart...if you use the $10 connector kit from Autozone...you get what you pay for...
Many of the quality connectors now come with shrink wrap made onto them...all factory wiring harnesses use crimp connectors....

I've heard that but I've got soldered joints on my Heritage that are at lest 10 years old.
No problems so far.

10 years is not very long at all... My 1968 BSA still has stock Wiring!!!! and none of it is soldered...
Yes it is Lucas...and yes...It still works!!!!
being in Electronics in the Canoe Club...I was taught where solder is Used...and where it is Not!!!!
