I'd replace it, nothing worse than a niggling electrical problem.

You can get new ones as cheap as $25 http://bit.ly/11t1NKS

Was thinking of not putting the fork gaitors back on and running some fork seal savers instead.. what you guys think..
I like the look of bare forks but the gaitors will keep the old school look and offer abit more protection
(Fork seal savers are neoprene covers that slide or velcro over the fork seal normally cable tied on also)

I like the big blue ones on a red trike but I went for none in my blue 83 as it gives the impression of more bling. The big ones look great when in good condition.
