REFLECTOR: Electrical system

[Brooke Wolf]

Yeah…I like that V-Twin too.  Lots of options to "redundicize" there!

I often lose site of the fact that most accidents/incidents/tragedies are caused by engine failure, not electrical issues. Maybe I should spend more time focusing on how to make my engine reliable and less time running every electrical system in quadruplicate.

Safety and associated redundancies should balance.  Just food of thought.
