Howdie Folks

[YROC]

Welcome to the site from New Jersey, YROC!

Where do you hail from and what year/model R3 are you the happy owner of?

I predict that your bro' will either come around or he'll get used to coming in a distant 2nd, if he hasn't already.

I hail from the great state of Texas and Im the happy owner of an 08 Classic. She is maroon and white.

Welcome YROC from exotic Idaho.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Is "exotic" somewhere north of Texas? Jk

Welcome Mate. What stranded you?

Thanks. The lights went out when I went to start her and then I smelled some burnt wiring.

Welcome from wet WA.
From whence you hail?

Thanks. I hail from Texas.

Howdy back and welcome from Texas! My best friend owns a hog too and we get along fine because I carry a lot of tools for him.

Thanks. God bless Texas!

I've experienced some "exotic" in and from Texas!

Bingo! I just bypassed the connector like was recommended.

I would still investigate doing the Eastern Beaver Wiring/Relay upgrade. as your headlight power is more than likely to be going through your ignition switch if the mod has not been done already.
