Difficulty on changing wiring harness

[pkohlstedt]

Great morning... 4 miles from home this morning everything went dark & had some smoke coming from under the seat- thought my ass might be on fire! The wife came & got me & then i went back armed with flashlights & tools . I found the small ground wire that goes over the battery burnt the insulation off it . Got towed & can't tell why but it looks like it goes through out the harness to the front of the bike . I will have to save a little before getting a new harness- $300 ... or $100 used on ebay.... so hard is it to replace ? wish me luck...
