So here's why. The intention- my intention- was to just remove this and paint that and buy a couple things and get a little silly with a gas tank design and then ride. You know- ride. (Which I'm starting to forget that part. That wheels actually turn and throttles actually turn and steering yokes actually turn. You get the gist.) But I wanna ride this thing, too.
So with knowledge, comes now what do I do? Or maybe more focussed a statement might be now what should I do.
About this.
Wires. Relays. They're everywhere. But- they all work. All of them. Everything worked. And even though everyone in all the forums and sites say they fail and they will fail and it's only a matter of time fail and they're already 33 years old and are gonna fail - they are working right now.
There's a solution. And probably a good one. And it's been spelled out in a very detailed manner on some sites and even uses small words so I can understand them. A way to rid the bike of all the relays. And a lot of the wiring harness that isn't needed. It's been done and it's efficient and so much more in the column of 'ya don't want to worry about that failing when you're out on highway one oh one...' And I love not worrying about things. Trust me on that one.
But this will set me back. Timeline, the riding season, photography session, actually maybe riding this thing...
Conclusion?
Knowledge. And with that.... (I feel like I need to swear or something...) now, I think I really need to do this part. It's not something I felt I would, nor wanted to mess with. Remember the don't touch anything that might break part? But - if it's already taken apart, why not put it back together in a better way? Make alterations to it to be more efficient. More stable. More compatible. Like that life improvement thing again...
So maybe this motorcycle continues to teach me a thing or two, as well.
And learning is always good thing.
