    Hi all My son has been gifted a 94 VT600 Bobber project. Sadly it has had a wiring fire and the previous owner has cut and shut the wiring into a nice bowl of Technicolor spaghetti. In an amazing twist of luck today we got the beast to fire and run well but many wires, particulary to the CDI...
