Wiring harness
I'm buiding a Bobber. I'm using Paughco Rigid frame, The Donor Bike is a '78 FXE Superglide, I've got everything dissambled my next step is ordering a new wiring harness and anything new/updated in the electrical system. I've never owned a Shovelhead before and would like to convert things that will make the bike dependable. I also want turn signals, I've seen some Chops that don't have them but I wouldn't feel safe without them. Any suggestions from a voice of experience?

I haven't built from scratch in quite a few years, but thinking of completely redoing my shovel soon into an another old school chop. The last one I did had me chopping up the harness so much to get what I wanted, I think this time I will just create my own harness from scratch so it is done right from the start.

It's not hard to wire your own. Find a wiring diagram that suits your needs. I don't know what kind of ignition switch or whether you have electric start or not. I use 14 ga wire for most circuits and crimp and solder all connections. When you buy wire get as many colors as you can to match the wiring diagram.

ahhhhhh, stupid question but please respond! whats the proper power down sequence for an 81 flh? i'm sure its the engine kill switch, but thats having a problem
cause when the kill switch is depressed, it starts to power down properly, but then the engine rolls over again? (not the best way to describe it, sorry!) anyway, its definitely something to do with the ignition circuit

Oil temperature is dependent on ambient temperature, how the bike is driven, weight of oil and whether you have an oil cooler. Most of mine run between 175 and 210 running 70 wt with oil coolers. I live in S. FL.

If you have ever saw a bike short out and watch as your wiring harness melts in front of you while you despartely try to disconect the battery you will understand the benifit of circuit breakers.
