You must be gettin' old !

Skip , this is the place to look for the diagrams . Also use the drop bow app to download these diagrams and print !

along these lines , this mechanic's forum I belong to. This guy posted about leaving these power tool batteries on the charger. There were about 5 or 6 guys that knew about shops going up in flames and the battery/charger were found to be the inspiration for the fire. Now , when the green light comes on / the battery comes off !

Well , they are not a bargain barn but if you NEED it they have it .

I know EVERYONE on this site tinkers with your bike and everything else in your shed. This year someone turned me on to how easy McMaster-Carr is to buy from. This place has just about everything you need for any project you have to work on. I order from them at least weekly. It doesn't matter how small or large your order is they fill it and they have it in stock. $12 and next day it is delivered. I needed a 12mm X 1.25 l.h. thread tap. They had (I call them) start , finishing and bottoming taps in stock and no one around could get them in less than a week. Next day and I could not drive to town for $12 . Check them out !

Can we just be done w/it and announce every member hits like on this post ?

IDK if you were prepared to spend that kind of $$ but I am sure these are less prone to breakage than the factory levers .

Well , brother I have looked and I can't find it .

Immediately ! With that being said. the dealership could have kept their mouth(s) shut , fixed the bike , had a happy customer and everything is good in Shangri-la . Garages do favors for good customers with expired mileage , dates ,etc. to keep people happy. I have done it out of a sense of responsibility and good customer relations.

Now , did you do the repairs or someone else ?

Have you found one yet ? I think I have one.

Can anyone here with the newer bike(s) verify their forks having R on both forks ?

Time-Sert is the best thread repair brand on the planet. If you are afraid to try it , take it to a good shop or machine shop and get it fixed.

I am going to say your connection at the fuse holder has been the problem all along. The burnt leg of the fuse was an indicator of a poor connection . I wish you had mentioned this , it would have saved a lot of thinking. Did you install a CB into the existing wiring harness ? Is it made like Docc's CB ? Any time you have this burn from a poor connection the wire(s) have the same burn and the connection suffers and the resistance increases (not good) greatly. I can't wrap my head around this bike and factory regulator running this gauge of wire for the charging . If you were aware of electrical systems it would be like hooking up a gen-set to your house with a cheap 2 wire 110v extension cord. Your friend can add resistance if he wants to but you don't need to. Less resistance is what you're after.

I have not seen the newer fork models so I will leave that alone. Mine has the krinkle paint too .
