Guys, help! I'm burning through headlights and now the wiring harness is burning up. What is the problem? I haven't changed any wiring in the front of the bike. I got rid of the rear turn signals about 3 months ago and have been riding ever since. Now all of a sudden I'm changing headlights every third time I ride the bike. Any ideas?

 

Did you have one of those high wattage head light bulb installed? just a thought

 

Listen to 128auto...he's our electrical guru!!

I'm still steamed that you posted the garage door opener deal AFTER I shelled out the bucks for the HD version.

 

I don't have any sort of high wattage bulb in there. I replaced what is in there H4, nothing fancy.

 

If I come up with another invention one day, I will give you a heads up. [8D]

 

Do you have a service manual? Take a look at the wiring diagram and trace the headlight wires, either you have a short or the headlight draws excessive amperage. Make sure the wires didn't get pinched, that's about it.

 

Thanks for the help. I'm going to check it out tomorrow. I'll let you guys know what I figure out.
