That is pretty much standard nowadays, that price is much better then the first quote

Good morning all

Yes, I can get muddy

I got lazy and used the #10 awg...Mike had good advice to use larger wire but i could not fit it into ring terminals

i really did not want such a big one...I havent seen it yet...pick up next Tusday

Not real pretty ...its an old electric fence control box that was my grandpa's.

It's more than likely that the short is not going to be inside the wiring loom, it's almost certainly a short where the insulation has chafed through until the wire is rubbing on the frame or engine. The other likely possibility is that some electronic component is playing up, and the only electronic component that's connected to the battery all the time is the voltage regulator. So.. disconnect the regulator and see if that cures the problem. Then, to save a lot of time, fuses and a possible meltdown in the wiring, get a headlight bulb, solder two wires to it, and push the wires into the fuse contacts. If the bulb glows you have a short. Then go through the wiring wriggling a little bit at a time, and gently lift it away from the frame a little bit at a time until the bulb goes out. Then check carefully around there for chafed insulation.. A good place to start wriggling wires is up around the steering head where wires move a lot when you turn the bars..
