LMAO - Kung Fu style - I can just see Jacky Chan with a welding torch, going at it.........
Hope you found it, but I think the errant screw head was the culprit (or you've solved a short by rewrapping the harness) - either way it's all good now.
Interesting seat you have - looks like one of those massage pillows
I wish I had time for a 500 mile ride to nowhere............lucky man you truly are.
Luck with it Malbo !

 

I was thinking more Matrix style wearing the robe and going barefoot . I have time for a trip like this because I pulled 85 hours last week (if you count the previous Sat it was 100 hours straight).

The seat I have is a Corbin with a Beadrider on top. If I go with just the seat I get hot spots after 2 hours. The Beadrider pushes that out to 6-7 hours.
