Uncle Mike's BIKE Dead on Chicago Expressway - Coil question

Good news?

No need for anyone but Mike to travel today. Status in next post.

I could make the long loop to pickup the fuse box if that is determined to be the best solution. Again, need to deal with the "kid situation" so they're not stuck with me unnecessarily, but will figure that out if we proceed this way.

Regards,

No need for that Steve...
If he needs the box, I'll go straight out with it. You could just head straight there to help Mike pull it all together, as I won't be able to stay long.

Steve, are you interested/have the skills? Remember, this bike has thousands of miles that need to be traveled on this patch.

Yes, I can handle it, and have time through the latter part of the afternoon (though my kids will be stuck with me unless I can find an alternate destination for them - I'll work on that). Is Mike working inside a garage or outside ... it's currently pouring rain by me. I can go retrieve Mike AND the bike if necessary and get them to my garage.

If it is the fuse box, I would be willing to pull the fuse box from my 1100E and let him have it, if someone is willing to come get it and take it to him, as I don't think I can get away today.

I'd rather not, that point is always hot, isn't it?

I just checked...yes it is, so that's no good. I am using it for my horns, through a relay...

Good point. Believe so.

Thanks Bob. There will be a slight delay ( 1+ hours ) while Mike makes a supply run.

George...I am guessing you are going to tap the Aux terminal with an in-line fuse?
Like this:

OK...let us know. Otherwise I will figure a way to get my fuse box to him.
Mike, PM me the street address where you are at and cell number, just in case.

I have an idea. Give me a bit of time, I think I have a solution.
Back in a few, as soon as I get in touch with Mike.

Wow guys, I'm impressed even if I don't understand galf of what you're saying. I'm in Old Town on N. Mohawk St. And of course, I will happily replace any donated parts.

I can find another on eBay or something later.

Mike where exactly in Chicago are you in case I can get there tomorrow?

Pull the fuse, run a 10A fused wire from aux on the fuse panel and piggy back it at the butt connector (O/G?) powering the brake light switch.

Thanks for the verification Dave. If that is the issue, any ideas on how to rectify it? I posted mine. I am concerned about jumping that with an inline fuse then going back to stock. I guess he could pull the fuse to bypass the bypass when he goes back to stock.
If his wiring harness is anything like my 1100E, things are going to be really tight in there.
