Good afternoon. My name is Bill Rhegness and this is my first post to this board. I ride a 2005 R1200RT. Today, after repairing a faulty headlight plug using a new pigtail and reassembling the Tupperware, I started the bike to check the function of the headlights. The previously great running bike ...
