Ha ha. Why fix it the right way when you can "mend" it for now. lol
Definitely will be seeing a Nuked harness thread in a few weeks.

haha. you might see that thread, but not from me. i retaped every frikkin wire then taped them all into one big thing. i did actually notice this spot where the coding had rubbed through from the original job and was touching a peice of metal. took care of that and hopefully will ride worry free, at least untill another stupid thing goes wrong.

Goodluck with your wiring problem, i rode mine for 2 years before the electrical gremlins got ahold of it. The lites kept flickering an then the fuse would blow, it sucked especially on a long ride. I traced it down to a wire that had gotten rubbed almost into fixed that but then it still kept blowing fuses. Slowly walked towards bike with can of gas an lighter but refrained due to my love of bikes.(I HATE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS!!!) Anyway i could wiggle the wiring harness connector an the lites would flicker and come on. I pulled the connector apart an there it was a burnt ground, fixed that an so far no problems as of yet.
