HELP! I'm new to this site and have just started building a bobber out of a '81 specialII. I have fabricated and installed a hardtail rear frame section and am currentlyremoving everything else that's not necessary.Being an ironworker/fabricator that is the easy part.Now comes the hard part,thinning out any excess electrical components and wiring. What has to stay to do basic functions? Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a bare bones bobber/chopper?Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,Steve

I have been know to trash a few computers, Now that you mention it I wonder if we should have a computer section on the board. I will put up a poll on it.

While we're on the subject of electrics,is there a smaller(dimension wise) battery that can be substituted for the rather large stock xs650 unit ? I'm trying to cut weight but more important is the room they take up! Thanks,Steve p.s. great site!I'm already enjoying it.
