What other circuit boards should I waterproof?

[badyellowvette]

Sealed my tag light board with TechSpray when I had it apart and was wondering what else I should spray. My turn signals get water in them sometimes. Should I spray the led boards? And what about the handlebar controls. Anything else that would prevent a electrical malfunction if it gets wet?

Well, if you read all the threads about electrical problems, you will learn that one should sink the whole bike into the TechSpray! :lol: :lol:

Seriously, waterproofing handlebar controls would be a great idea.

I called a company selling it after doing a search on Yahoo and they were out and would have to order a case. Then he said would you like a free sample? I said how big is the sample? He said the same size, full can, I said HELL YES!
He had to e-mail the Company and I had to e-mail them my address. He told the company that I wanted a sample for evaulation.

If wanted I can try to find the web site I called.

FWIW...I sprayed EVERY board on the bike. I've not had any water related electrical issues and I've rode in the rain a few times. I don't think you can overdo it when it comes to waterproofing.

I second that opinion!!!

Started with the turn signals today, first thing I found was rust on the back of the rear right led board. Wish I thought of taking a picture before I cleaned it off. Cleaned it the best I could and sprayed it with the Techspray.

Don't see where I can do much inside the handbar controls. Everything is pretty sealed up.

Since they were open I sprayed them. There is a piece of cellophane like material covering the boards of the handle bar switches where the buttoms make contact. I sprayed everything and dielectrial greased the plugs.
