Topic: Allright! Now What's Happening?

[robdrobd]

I am getting so frustrated with the last bits and pieces for this build. My headlight was wired and working. When I added single filament signals, the signals started working, but the headlight stopped. I didn't change any of the headlight wiring and everything appears to be grounded. I have a custom metal headlight, not the stock fiberglass. Is it a grounding issue? Will a partially drained battery cause the headlight to not work at all? I am about ready to put a sale sign on the back of this baby!!

No, a partially drained battery will not kill the headlight.  You probably just knocked something loose.  Got a meter?

I know how it can be Rob, give each connection a wiggle or a shove or a twist, it could even be that your headlight bulb has reached the end of its useful life. It's a simple cause, no worries.
You can get past this one too.

Well, after all of that my headlight was actually on, just dim. I was working outside in the bright sunlight and couldn't tell that it was on. Problem solved...because there wasn't one

Just look at it this way...these bikes are nearly 40 years old, every problem we're ever gonna run into has already been solved by someone here. 
After that it's just a matter of getting one's ass in gear and getting to it, you've gotten past that hurdle already.
