Distance and isolation provide an imperfect defence in this modern age of travel, my friend.... :P

Too bad for you.  I am off riding as of NOW.

I made some progress towards fixing the Tiger today. Unbolted the subframe and moved it forward so I can get at the ignition switch, wires and connectors below the dash. I also unplugged the high beam headlight relay. Presto everything works!. Plugged the relay in again, everything still works. Twisted the white wire at the burned connector (aft, near the alternator)back together-everything STILL works!

This suggests to me it is not a component failure but a short, most likely the white wire from the alternator pinched somewhere near the headstock. Too dark and cold in the garage to be enthusiastic about digging in much today(snowing AGAIN goddammit), but I am very hopeful...

been picking apart my wiring harnes, in hopes of finding a wire or two to repair. Fuck me! They are almost all broken down in one place or another, mostly under layers of factory wrapping.  Looks like I will have to replace the entire wiring harness :(

Wonder how much a new wiring harness is? Wonder if they are even available for a 95?

here i`m workin on my 3rd wife! i know, i know, i should know better! it`s the 1 with hand on my shoulder. all i need is a sidecar and some real heavy duty crashbars.......

[RedMenace]

called the dealer and priced a new harness $525! Can't do that right now sow unless someone knows where I can gert one for much less than that, I am taking it off the bike and seeing if I can patch it up sufficiently to have confidence in it.

Open to(helpful)suggestions
