Every time I work on a bike I think to myself, if I do not double check and go over every single thing I do, I may be responsible for getting someone killed. I have a good pension with medical benefits. I am now doing somethiing I love doing. I can afford to work at what I like. I know other wrenches, who may not make a lot of money, but have wives who do. Not every "pimply faced kid" making an honest and proud living is a loser. Maybe the kid just loves bikes and can't do anything else because he wants to wrench?

When I retire from the US Army I think I might follow your footsteps, become mechanic. Hell they will even pay for my certification. It has to be a hell of a lot less stressfull then what I do now.

First time I saw this thread was today, I am glad you got it working. when I did my bars I missed up putting the wires back in the connector. luckily I had taken pictures of the connectors before I took them a part. It was an easy fix for me. I thought it was funny one day I was in an indy shop, a guy wanted to put on new bars and was pricing them. Asked the guy how hard it was to install them and they went all into shorting out the ecm and how much it would cost if he screwed it up. Anyway glad you got it working.
