I've never mentioned this before but along time back I removed all the wiring from my headlight housing ,preferring to wire the turn signals directly . thus running only the three wires needed for the headlight in the housing . To think that the wires inside where protected from weather is wrong ,rain will find it way past the headlight and not drain well with all the wires plugging the opening entrance .The electric system is the weakest link of a motorcycle, and the weakest part of the system is the connectors, the front turn signals have 6 single connectors ,that's 12 wire ends all jammed into the back of the housing, that can loosen or corrode, If I Have a problem I can be sure it's a bad bulb (filament ) rather than a wiring problem .All lighting on my bike is wired in this manner . Major components are still using stock connectors due to the need for testing , but lights are seldom removed ,and could be tested at the bulb socket. Much like switching to a Raptor petcock ,it's better to deal with a problem before it happens ,than as it happens.
