Well the on the bright side of things I figured that the starter on the
Ambo is ok and there is no need to look for latches for my Wixom bags.
Driving home from work I stopped at a light and noticed an "electric"
smell. Looking down to see if everything was all right I saw smoke coming
from the generator. Of course this had happen when I was in Vallejo
California near the abandoned housing projects. After pushing the bike
into what seemed to be a safe location it was left for 5 min due to a
quest for a phone book. Upon my return it was discovered that some one
had backed into the bike and bent the LAPD saddlebag rack and smashed one
of the Wixom bags. At least now the bike is safe at home even if its
owner's wallet is a lot thinner
I know the generator will need to be replaced but would a bad regulator
have caused this or would it be a short.
Thanks In Advance,
