Electrical fires

[Guest timshosvt]

If you smell smoke when behind the windshield of a 1st gen.....Consider that it's not the 18 wheeler in front of you and investigate.

As a side note. If you reduce your speed to below 40 mph while 2 foot flames are shooting out of your dash, you won't burn your chin. I wonder if I would have smelled it sooner without the full face helmet on.

Rides ridden, lessons learned, hope we learn from your unfortunate incident, I know I have. Hope you can get her back together. Bunch of stuff on ebay right now, including 1 lot of relays and under fairing stuff. I've got my ebay set up so it emails me when new postings of 83-93 Venture stuff is added. You might try that.:sign **** happens:

Gees.....hope you are alright! That sounds so odd happening to a bike. First I've heard of actually. Any idea what happened?

 

Bet that got the old ticker ticking at full pace!
