So I got under my new 2015 FLSTN Softail Deluxe looking to see how hard it will be to adjust the suspension, and I noticed a wire hanging loose. See photo (after reattachment). This is under the very front of the frame, basically where your feet are. It looked like it had been held on with something like a "sticky back" with an aluminum ring on it.
1) I cleaned the surfaces and reattached it with some 3M double-sided foam tape. There is a hole in the bracket it is attached to, so I am also going to put on a weatherproof cable tie as soon as I find one. Good enough, or should I have the dealer attach it "correctly"?
2) Just curious, but what are the things in this bracket? Appears to be two electronic connectors laying parallel. You can see one in the photo; it's gray but looks cream in the photo.
3) I'm kinda bummed about the shoddy craftsmanship and hope I am not going to be finding more stuff like this. The wire was hanging just inches off the ground waiting to be ripped off when I discovered it. A weak adhesive connector like this should never be used in an exposed location. I work for an electric utility, btw, and we do use "sticky backs" but not in a place like this...lol
