[canoncrazy]

without telling the long story of being stranded in a cellular abyss, a winding mountain road, with the scorching California heat removing pounds of sweat per minute, when the thunder went to a puttering, humiliating silence...

I got about 16" of same gauge wiring, solder and a relocated the rectifier behind the license plate. just to protect the physical structure of the rectifier, i created a cage from an aluminum sheet (drilled and well ventilated) and wrapped and riveted it as a single piece. Once complete, I wrote an informative letter of recommendation to Ducati.
