Hey man, How is you conversion going? All done I presume. I have a question about the fuse box relocation and rewiring of the 83 NH 650. I am about to start doing that, but really don't know where to start - especially when it comes to the wiring plugs that go into the fuse box (6 plugs in all). If I were to move the fuse box under the seat (like you did) and use a newer box, what do I do with all the original connections that terminate at the OEM fuse box? It's a lot of wires inside the old headlight housing and the fuse box and I am not sure where to start. Thanks for any pointers on that. Jenya
