Does it ever end?

Another 270 miles today. Still running strong. I think I've got it licked this time!

One of my rear turn signal indicators broke at the shaft, so I used 3 pieces of hack saw blade as splints, and wrapped it with silicone tape. Works fine, but I need to replace both, as the plastic/rubber of which they are made has apparently dried out and become brittle with time. I want to keep something pretty large like the originals, as I like people behind me to know that I am turning, and which direction it will be!

I was most fortunate while reconnecting the turn signal wire to notice that I have some mouse damage to several of the wires coming from the fuse box. Why they haven't shorted out yet is a mystery, but I was able to clean them with contact cleaner, and then slip heat shrink tubing over the bare spots and shrink it in place. Even though I have disconnected that connector before and greased the terminal block, I had never noticed the bare wires. This was a very lucky find, as it could have caused lots of problems, and would have been a real needle in a haystack to find.

Did another 200 miles today, and the bike again ran flawlessly.
