If you can...and if you have enough room, you can cut/solder/heat shrink the
sensor wires. However, if this is on the sensor side of the connector, just
replace the sensor - it comes with a new harness anyway.

Hey, Bernd
<> That's the Cam sensor harness - yes, that can easily cause a BUS short.<>
The sheathing is peeled back exposing the copper strands - looks like
they're turning green - as copper will do after exposure to
moisture...What's the best way to remedy that? Should I cut & re-splice? Is
there another solution?
<> Honestly, you don't have to have it on any specific cylinder. Just mark
the position of the rotor on the outer edge of the distributor with a black
marker (Sharpee's work well) and just make sure you put it back in with the
rotor pointing the same way. As long as you don't crank the engine while
it's out...you'll be fine. We do it like this all the time without any
issues - even the fuel sync stays correct.<.
Cool! That'll eliminate THAT part of the procedure...hopefully I'll get to
it tomorrow after work...Thankfully the Sportster is a viable option -
FINALLY!
'Coourse, I'll probably muck something else up, but this reconfirms by
membership in the DML!
Thanx, again!
