Melting Wire

Either you have been very lucky or there has been a deeper problem. I would suggest that you disconnect the reg/rec from battery & check when connected 7 disconnected there is no problem. Also check when engine is running that there is around 15 volts going into the battery.

I will do as you suggest, thank you. One thing I forgot to mention is that the battery was not secured nearly as sound as I would like. I will be rigging some additional tie downs prior to going for a ride this weekend. Sure wish there were a better way to secure battery than with a bunch of zip ties, bubble gum and bailing wire.

Re-secured the battery. Modified the wire routing and placement of the fuse holder. Soldered every connection I could find that was crimped. Checked for shorts and power drains. Checked Alternator output. Went on 200 Mile ride, checking every 70 miles or so for issues in wiring, none found. All appears as if operating properly and well. Me thinks I have dodged a bullet, happily so!
