Hey Aps

Pete · Mar 17, 2005

I was goofing around my garage and decided to get my bike ready for installing the hard bags that are coming tomorrow. I got out my trusty tool kit and now my bike is in peices on the floor.

I hope I remember to put all the parts back in it.

Question for you; When you relocate the turn signals to the back by the plate, where did you run your wires? I suspect you have to drill holes correct?

Hey Aps, I have this thing that looks like a big scoop and I can't remember where it goes.

Pete · Mar 17, 2005

Nevermind, it's the rear fender :otter:

Route them along the wires going to your tail light, feed them throught the same holes, it's tight, but they'll fit. There are some metal tabs the hold the wires under the fender. Bend them up a little to fit the new wires in.

Where is the best place to cut the harness? Up close to the airbox?

This Saturday (3/19) Motovation cycles is holding a spring safety tuneup clinic (free for Mattawoman SCRC members) at 1:30. If you can, you should swing by and check them out.

Yes, someplace where you'll have enough room to jam the new connectors back in. There is some clearence under the seat (it sits on little suction cups).

I figured if I cut the harness near the airbox, I should have enough wire from the signal back to make it through the grommet, then I can splice in the extentions under the seat where they are shielded more.

Ummmm... I'm thinking you would be better off to let the bird have his home back and sell the bike for parts... :twitch:

That should work.
Did you get the fringed bags or the plain ones?

Thinking has never been your strong suit. :shutup:

It will be ok, I have tools :yay:

Traditional.

Did you use splices or bayonette connectors?

Used the connectors that came with the bags. If you take the bags off and put the sigs back where they were, you can just unplug the extensions and reconnect the wires.

So the bags come with the wire and connectors to make the extentions? Groovy. They come in tomorrow, I am just getting it ready.

You can say that after asking if he's got fringe on his bike? You must be hell on your fellow poker players.

No fringe

aps45819 · Mar 17, 2005

The purpose of fringed extensions on leather garments/bags is to increase the surface area exposed to the air in order to shorten the time it takes for the leather to dry.
WTH does this have to do with poker?

Yeah, 'cause some dipshit can't take a joke. Not my fault you can't tell when somebody is making a joke.
