My 2003 had an electrical melt down, but nowhere as severe as my 1998 (Pokey, R.I.P.--- rusting in pieces). Made one runner from the two junkers.
The 03 is in the middle of a massive redesign. Panhead crash bar and floor boards. Shovelhead rear fender off the 98. Solo seat conversion (permanent). Small police windshield should arrive this week. Headlight (Triumph knock off) off the 98 repainted and installed. Driving lights/bar ready to install. Swapping to the bag set (Indian style) off the 98. May swap to the Vincent levers/perches and Titan/CB450 hybrid drum front wheel off the 98.
The 98 is in the midst of a redo as well. Drag bars in 6 inch dogbone risers off the stock riser set. Shorty stainless steel rear fender. Honda SL style exhaust pipe. Flat track seat. Same goofy flat tracker fuel tank. Stock headlight from the 03, cateye taillight on XS650 light/plate mount. Will need to get a new alternator, reg/rec, battery, timing set to get it running again. May end up buttoning up the engine and using the carcass of the bike as a mailbox stand, the entire electrical system (and I mean everything) is toast... when the alternator spiked, the reg/rec melted, and so did most of the wiring. Had the bike literally 4 wires from finished (lights) and ---
Intruder 800 is still down. Honda CL100 is still down. 1500 Drifter is going strong at 112K miles and change...
