[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 429997, member: 3372"] Wow Skooter, that do look nasty! Dale has a point though - a total harness replacement requires a major investment in time and effort for the home mechanic - that thing goes just about everywhere on your bike. If you decide to do that job yourself, plan to take several hundred digital pictures as you pull it out showing exactly how the thing is routed. Nice thing about digital pictures, the're cheap! I had a harness get abraded to the point of failure with the radio on my '90 Venture. I had to unwrap it and splice in several wires to repair it. The difference was my wires were fine strand 24 gage electronic radio wire, if I breathed wrong while handling them I'd do more damage than repair. When I was finished, the repair lasted the life of the bike. If this is the only area of overheated and shorted wires, an afternoon's investment of splicing in new wire would be the way to go. I guess you could call it the "hot" ticket. :grin: Brodie [/QUOTE]
