Thanks all! My electric is giving me hell.... Yesterday the indicator lamps for my right signal was working. The left wasn't so i was troubleshooting it. I started the bike and they both went out. The messed up part of it is even before i even got to the actual signal wiring, both the lamps on the indicator were working. This bike is an oil leaky, electrical corroded #$%*...For some reason i cant stop trying to make it super bad ass.... its a money pit! Ya fix one thing find another......THis bike is a pain in the ass.... kinda like myself! 8)
