Should Have Been Simple

I had a few moments today, so I figured I'd put the battery tender pigtail and heated vest pigtasils on the bike.  Good thing I looked, a mouse had moved in under the back seat, making a nest using the freathers from a cowbird the local cats had just killed.  It had eaten halfway though one of the harnesses and ate all the way though a o-ring that was under the seat (what is that o ring anyway?)

So

I cleaned out the nest, that was a regular task on my SV, where the mice lloved the battery box and airbox, reinsulated the chewed insulation, put in and routed the pigtails, then put it back together with a bag of mothballs soaked in peppermint oil under the rear seat.  Since this is not tneder season, I put a usb connection on that pigtail for device charging.

Good catch, could have been real trouble down the road!

You need a new cat... One that eats mice, not birds..
