For example I got a QA throttle from China payed about £6 with post, the same QA throttle for a English seller £80 The Chinese are still getting there money just the local buyer is getting ripped off by the local seller. Part of the project investigation process involves contacting the seller or distributor and asking them about their product. I have found a seller here in California who says his parts are assembled in California from "imported" components. I think I can work with that. 1 Quote

Go to any big box building supply store (Lowes, Home Depot, etc) and all of the name brand tools that are "made in America" all of them include "from globally sourced materials". Hell, even the big 3 automakers are more made outside of America than Nissan and Kia. To me, it has became a rather moot point. And a meme. Quote

Looks like you just have to join the power wires to the consumer wires. I know these classic bikes are easy to nick , but I personally wouldn't make it any easier lol. Maybe a seperate circuit breaker else where operated by a key perhaps .... Pudzrx Quote
