    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

do any of you have tips on wrangling in/tidying up the mess of wires in the headlight bucket? i'm cleaning connections and i sure would like to tuck everything back in there nice and neat. zip ties are going to be my friend. :)
 
Just make sure you leave enough slack to allow steering movement lock to lock without pulling on the wires.

Like the other poster said make sure you have slack.

You want to kind or arrange the wires into a conical donut shape in the bucket so you have fit the head light in easier.

While you have it open clean your connections.
 
It's a mess even on a brand new bike (or was, when these were new). This is one area where function is 99.9% of the concern. Appearance doesn't really matter as long as your headlamp assembly fits in there without squashing the rat's nest too badly.
 
yeah, i am cleaning. that's the reason for the post.

thanks for the advice.

I ditched the stock connectors and went with the flat four trailer wiring connectors to save room.
