anybody ever do a cutdown body on their bike?  By  Tripper (Read 370 times)

Hi Tripper
Conduit is used to prevent fires for the most part, it does offer some protection to the wiring from physical damage, but at a trade off.. The trade off is condensation.. Condensation wears on the insulation covering the wires over time causing a short, also once the short has developed being in conduit makes finding the short harder...

The environment our scoot's operate in, lends itself to moisture from several sources, rain, and condensation being the main ones.. Not trying to discourage you, but wanted to make you aware of some of the possible long term problems...

Your electric company discovered this a long time ago, This is one reason why they prefer to put their wires on poles and towers and not in conduit or under ground, will they do it ? yes but in most residential cases they actually prefer not to if at all possible...

Now if you can figure a way to keep a flow of air thru the conduit to dry the wiring, that would prevent the erosion of the insulation from the moisture..
