It can be, but now tell us how worthwhile it is.
Do you wonder where the vibes have gone?

Wired up a cigarette socket last night. It's got a waterproof cover, and used about an entire roll of electrical tape on the rest.  :biggrin:

I mounted it to the right handlebar and it works great. The intention is to use it to plug in my GPS. I still need to wire up an inline fuse and I will mount a small switch into the fairing panel on the right side (upper flat part). I found it very difficult to run any wires from the front to the battery. The wires run really close to the engine near the frame on the right side. I can't find any better place to run the wires. Any ideas?

BTW - I've ridden about 300 miles in the last 2 days and this thing is running REALLY good. I have a slight vibration right around 3,000 RPM, but otherwise runs very smooth! I got on the Hungarian "Autobahn" and held it at 110 MPH for about 35 minutes. What a rush. I was passed once.

I went "across the street" to Vienna, Austria and found an awesome motorcycle shop. For about $70 I got a cool tank bag that has a provision for my GPS. The massive amount of snowfall we have here is putting a severe limit on my motorcycling lately. I can barely control my car!

every plastic piece is cracking here and there... needs constant attention.

sunny day, no snow, just chill...  :dance:

over the past week...

Picked up Klavdy's old ride, picked up a truckload of stuff from Ritt, removed damaged stuff (disassembled to frame), cleaning and prepping for reassembly (ongoing), ordered more parts, ...  found a couple of surprises along the way, but that's the fun part I guess.

I'm hoping to have it back together this month if I can get the remaining parts together.

I have pictures of the carcass, but I will post a compilation once is is done.

Did you find all the pine cones? Klavdy must have scooped up a whole load of them, one even got into his tank bag. Not that I know anything of how it got in there, or who might have done it. :nea:
