    Carefully slice open the harness around the clamp area of your failed HES plate and this is what you will probably find. As Paul Glaves mentioned, heat, age and very hot moisture and this is what...

    Pulling out the battery is the only way to check the connections. Not sure if that has been done yet? That would be the first thing to check since the oilhead alternators are pretty bullet proof.

    Before this thread gets too deep... R1200GSA questions belong in the hexheads forum.

    Travel questions are probably best answered in the Just Ridin forum.

    You usually get better info that way.
