electrical woes rant
apparently my bike cannot support an extra 1 amp peak of current draw. $&$%#%#%$^&$%&^$%$#&^$*%
installed a lighter socket tapped off the 15 amp stock fuse(lights relays etc). bike literally just goes from cruising at 6k to an entirely dead engine and battery... Friggen garmin apparently needs an assload of current.
oh and to make it worse my fuse cover flew off, sounded like a piece of paper flapping took me 15 miles to figure out it was missing.... wtf i am done riding for the day
oh heres some pictures of it and my 1 month old tech mount that needs a rubber band to hold crap.
EDIT: PROBLEM WAS BAD RECTIFIER
