Hey Kuroshio,

If you're as **** retentive about your bike being OEM and the harness not being spliced... and you have some time on your hands to bad wires outa your harness and put in good ones. I have some wire harnesses laying around that you could probably use for parts. You can have them if you want. One is opened up with a wires missing and the other is in decent shape. I had repair mine and I pulled a few lines out, but everything should be there between the two. Oh wait... the stator connector on both of them is no good though.

When I posted a vid, one of the guys said "well it looks like your petcock is in the off position". Mine goes Forward, Down and Back. If I knew what the positions meant (and verified they worked) I'd leave her be. But right now I don't know Richard. So do I need to overhaul the petcock (damn tired of unplugging the hoses on it).
the petcock shouldnt be a big deal, somone just put the plastic dial on the outside on wrong. just take a phillips screwdriver in there, undo the screw and then put the dial back on so it goes up,side then down. so it really should be nothing, and if it is a problem i got a spare petcock if ya need it

I got this *FINALLY* in the mail today (don't order from autotoys.com. Driving to the manufacturer and making it yourself is faster)

It's a Cyclone 866F Motorcycle Alarm. It required me to splice into the ignition and kill switch wires. While hunting around the wire harness for the ignition wire, I found this:

Why would anyone splice in a foot of wire on the wire harness??? Why just twist copper to copper when butt splices are so cheap? That was just to the ignition. The splices on the right were just as bad

EDIT
The alarm install when right as rain once I got the harness in passable shape. The Cyclone was beyond easy to install. Tell them the year, make and model of the bike. They tell you what color wire to look for and provide clean splice connections to do it. 2 axis tilt & shock alarm. Both immobilizers work fine
