I got the new flasher relay and mine seems to be working great now. However after I replaced it I decided to check the old one and it too also works, so I imagine I'll have problems down the line to deal with.

One day I will get under the tank and check things out but since everything is working fine now I'll let it fly.

Got my insurance this afternoon and it was more than my car. 250 a year

I have three brackets for the control wiring. Two are these wire jobs that are mounted to the top of the fork assy. The look like they might have been just for transport but i liked the way they keep things together so I left them. There is another one that I believe is the one you are talking about. It mounts to the bottom of the fork assy and has a grommet. I've turned it to it's limits and everythings seem to have enough play. I will make sure again. thanks for the heads up.

Glad your friend was happy and you guys had a good time.
