gateway hd did the job they said it shorted. glad i didnt have fringed pants on. fire went out when i got with a little wind and the wires melted in two
don't get that far south to gateway, glad ya didn't burst into flames, well the exhaust wrap is a no go, not enough room to do the wrap right, but i did see were the inspection sticker plate might do the trick,there's a bolt that holds the brake switch on and i think the plate should hook up there and if you swing it up it should cover the wires that aren't protected. and the plain Jane one is 10 bucks, i did some measuring and it looks like it will work. anything to keep the heat back from those wires is a plus. if ya come up with something let me know thanks
why would anyone wear fringed pants? why does your bike have a cat? everyone knows to replace the cat...even if you leave everything else stock. seems like "normal wear" to me. chit happens-get over it.
Mine was seeping brake fluid through the switch and the brake fluid started to smoke when I noticed mine. Dealer changed under warranty and no other issues yet.
Maybe it did and the brake fluid seeping is what caught fire like mine. I only noticed because of the smell, and since I ride mostly at night I realized my brake light was not lighting up with the rear brake.
