Ian sez:

I prefer this to trying to work on something that has been "modified"

Ian, what's your opinion on replacing the wiring on a stock loopframe?
That is, go with the original-type fuses and connections in the stock
location, or upgrade to newer blade-type fuses, maybe in the headlight
shell, maybe elsewhere?

For that matter, I'm starting to pick up flakes of chrome in my oil,
do you recommend cast-iron or nickasil cylinders? OE switchgear
or Japanese switches?

Actually I spoze it's my call, since I don't ever plan to sell this
baby...

Thanks,
