Let there be light!!!

Whooo,  I got all the lights working.  It took a couple of days but I finaley got all the wiring done.  With the exception of the engine and starter.  Basicly that means

  1. Headlights
    1. High and low beam
    2. There apers to a problem with the low beam switch but a little giggle and it works.
  2. Pilot lights
    1. Only on low beam
      1. Supposed to work with the blinkers
      2. I want them to work with the headlights
  3. Left and Right front and back turn lights.
    1.  This was a problem because the left kept shorting out and tripping the circuit braker.
    2. I ended finding a pinch in the wire were it comes out of the blinker light housing.
    3. The blinker unit appears to be dead.  It doesn’t blink.
  4. Horn beeps
  5. Cant test the starter button but that is all the switches and buttons on the handle bars.

After getting all the bugs out, everything worked fine.  Now I just need an engine and primary to finish checking the dash lights, oh yeah and it would be nice if the engine turned over.

    So apparently the harley manuel calles blinkers on the dashboard pilot lamps. and the accessory headlights on either side if the headlight are add on extras. Witch explains why the lights on the wiring diagram would blink. It also explains the extra switch attached to the handlebars. Its there to turn on the extra lights independently of the headlight.

    This sounds like more good progress- any word on the engine?
