Acewell + DynaIII + mUnit = craplaod of wiring :-[

I was hoping to simplify it ;D

That looks like fun

I think you have a breach in the insulation on one of the red wires.

Love those calipers too.

Thanks Ian, that breach is on a Temp wire to a nearly dead battery that is hooked up purely to test the circuits. the dead battery allows you to check things are working but it does not allow enough current to fry thing if I screw it up.
I learned this the hard way :-[ :

Love Guzzi's...and this one is the best of both worlds, a bit of Ducati Desmo 900 but the toughness of a Guzzi. Great work!

Man, that is beautiful. I love the gold bits. Are the trees anodized?
