WOW! Some luck you got there. The good thing is that now you know that it is done right!
Not luck, I knew it was like that a while back and didn't do anything about it. The 12V compressor already had the fuse missing and I hot linked it so I got what I deserved. If I would have fixed the melted wire in the first place....well...you know the story. Just getting familiar with the bike as I say. At this point, one the bushings that I ordered are installed, I feel that this thing will be very solid and ready for a lot of miles.
This sucker still looks bad Cranberries!! I am out in the garage tonight listening to Pandora and installing my Kuryakyn Tour Bag.....put my tool kit together (using tools that I needed to fix the other stuff and then some) got everything loaded where I want it and am ready. I even have a mount for the phone so I can take video of parts of the ride. That mount has the Michigan Antenna ball that my recently deceased friend had hanging from his mirror....gonna take him on this ride.
