Learned my lesson

[2wheelerwill]

Well I have been working on a bobber project for my gz...wednesday night i finally started working on the rear fender. Well i removed the rear fender which in turn remove my mounting for my electronics. Normally this wouldnt be a problem but i was out of zip ties..no biggie i have some at work..in my infinite wisdom i decided to tape my electronics up with electrical tape(thats what thats for right?)...well i made it half way to work when the tape came loose and my tire ate my electronics. The bike dies.. i pull over and find that everything is intact minus a whole in my electronics...i walk back about half a mile and find something that seems to be a relay. I call around and find out that it is my "turn signal relay"...ok no big deal, except for why wont my bike run????...turns out that there is more than just the turn signals that is routed through this relay...long story short the bike wont run without this relay and through the dealer its a $90 part...found one on ebay for $45 haven't ordered it yet

lesson learned - Electrical tape is not an acceptable substitute for zip ties
