Yeah, I know...Couldn't wait to see if things lit up. But hey, plastic won't ground, so.... :nananana:

Tom, I'm appalled. Never seen my "old" bike so unbathed.
I like the lights.

 

[Locomotiveman]

Short of trying to ground through the plastic, that's about the worst ground you could come up with.  :-[

Tomorrow..tomorrow.. Riding in rain today, but I just HAD to post the PIC. Believe it or NOT, it grounded fine while hanging from the brake line retainer loop too. MADE in USA 12Ga. stranded copper...miracle product?? 4" x 3/4" copper bar better, but...........

"Grounded fine" <> well grounded.

Run a ground back to the negative battery terminal.  Or, to the the spot where the coils mount to the frame.  (The bike uses this spot as a ground, too.)

I DROVE 350/miles in the rain...so far so good. No jiggle-jiggle with the LED spots. Right turn signal pulses twice as fast now, but not the Left. Gonna test the LOAD now that I found my Fluke Multimeter.  Locomotiveman
