So I made the switch to clubman bars which went well for all of two days before I lost the headlight. Let me premise this by saying that I am a somewhat impatient newbie.
So, as I was taking the controls apart to get them ready to move to the new handlebars, I busted off all three headlight wires off of the switch. Because I was impatient I kinda guessed as to how they went back on, and soldered them on. I know, I'm dumb. On the second day of riding, the headlight went out and I rode home at 9pm with no headlight. That sucked. This is a picture of how I wrongly wired up the switch.
Well, as i was messing with the controls the next day, someone told me that it had to do with grounding the starter switch. I had the right side control apart and saw that one of the wires was pulled off that switch as well. The starter didn't always work, which isn't a big deal because the kickstart worked fine. so I pulled apart the starter switch, cleaned it up, and soldered the wire to what I believe to be the correct contact. here's a pic of that:
So, after I wired up the starter, everytime I went to turn the bike on I was popping the headlight fuse. I hadn't realized I wired the headlight switch wrong. The headlight bucket wiring cluster-mess is as put together as i think it's supposed to be. There are some interesting things done from the PO.
So, Is the wiring to the starter switch properly wired? I know the headlight switch is wrong and will be fixing that tomorrow morning. Do you guys think that is mostly likely why I'm blowing headlight fuses?
