Once all was assembled and circuits confirmed, we needed to start her up for the first time and see if the voltage was right. Had to put in another coli to get her to start and three rounds of battery recharge to get the oil cranked back up out of the case.

Glad to here you liked it! I hadn't worked with it yet but I have looked at it pretty closely and looks straight forward that's why I suggested it to Rick. Not to mention it's reasonably priced.

With that badlands controller makes it easy to replace that unit seperatly if it ever goes bad.

No offense to the shop guy but it's interesting he had trouble with that NAMZ unit. Then again it seems like if it doesn't plug in like all the new bikes people aren't interested in the old skool electrical work. It's a shame, 12v systems are basic as hell.

I don't think he would have had a problem if they weren't trying to use the old wires in the handle bars. The colors don't match, and it's tough to figure out which wires are coming and going through the switches. Plus the fact all the lights were burned out.

Ahh..makes sense!

It funny all the lights burnt out but it sounds like they weren't LED so that makes a little more sense. LED lights in the 04 and ups handle 18v much longer than an old school bulb would.

All but the front signals were LED, including the dash lights. I believe when the VR went out, it was putting AC current through the system.

Maiden voyage.

Ended up having to replace the ignition module too. Went with a Dynatec as it was in stock rather than the Crane Hi4.

Yep. One more item to replace: the transmission sensor that sends signal to the speedo. Gotta do some research on that. I would love to pick up the adjustable one.
