If you think that's a mess, look in your headlight bucket.

Don't think; Do! You'll thank yourself later  :D

But then again, I'm biased towards MotoGadget.

It all makes sense, just go one wire at a time.

Definitely more logical than your wife.

No offense intended of course.

That's cherry! No splices, wire taps, mystery tape blobs... it needs to be cleaned up and the wires cleanly routed, but there's nothing wrong there. You can make a new harness and eliminate many wires - but you obviously eliminate the functions they provide as well.

And it would not hurt to upgrade the fuse box to one for automotive blade style fuses while you are at it.

M-unit, m-unit??? What is it, what does it do?  Is it a good thing to have?  Will it make me the coolest biker out there?  Will it spare wires and weight, mix martini and wash my car?  Sounds really cool, anybody uses it? ;D ;D ;D

Do tell!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I've heard they do mix martinis (dry and up, never stirred) but won't wash cars. Something about Labor Union agreements.

Ok 00737, what do you shake your martinis? That's not a real martini then. Manhattans are the way to go. It's like a martini but with chest hair. And apparently I like chest hair...that didn't go as planned.
