    ... or men....

    Tail lights aren't workin... engine runnin, they're not on... rear brake pedal makes em flash (they're integrated w/ the blinkers by the original owner)... front brake lever doesn't make the lights do anything. blinkers DO work.

    fuses are ok, bulbs are ok. gotta be somethin w/ the wiring & i'm guessin it's comin from the front. the only wiring i played w/ at VIR was the harness between the front brake lever, starter & cut-off switch and the rest of it... had to get the wires outta there to take off the front end.

    i just pulled up the tank & can't see any wiring fubars... everything looks fine...


    what a fuckin pain in the ass, i suck at electrical shit.

    pfft you don't know any women

    I'll take a look at the wiring diagrams at work tomorrow, that's where my manual is. Sounds to me like a severed connection in the wiring harness that runs from the front of the bike to the junction box.

    Just so we have our facts straight:

    Key in, engine on: NO rear running lights.

    Rear Brake pedal: Brake lights come on as normal.

    Front Brake lever: No brake lights, no running lights.

    Do I have that right?

    What about parking switch, P on the ignition switch, turn counterclockwise past the steering lock position. Do you get any rear light action there?

    You're going to need to scare up a multimeter to get this diagnosed, do you have access to one? One that beeps to denote a closed circuit would be best, but you can get away with just one that measures resistance.

    i know women... i work down near Chinatown, remember?

    "Key in, engine on: NO rear running lights." = correct, no lights at all.

    "Rear Brake pedal: Brake lights come on as normal." = NO... brake lights FLASH RAPIDLY (faster than my blinkers) they didn't do that before

    "Front Brake lever: No brake lights, no running lights." = correct.

    do you think i coulda switched the two wires going to the front brake lever switch & that's the problem? i'd rather not switch em & find out incase they're fine & i create more problems

    ... anyone got that website w/ the zylophone that plays "YOU... ARE... A... FUCKIN... CUNT"???

    cuz i just found the fuckin cunt loose wire connection... the integrator that the original owner had installed was connected w/ a bunch of vampire clips... lemme just tell you, they suck ass. one was just a little loose & when i jiggled the connection - SUPRISE - the lights came back to life

    my thanks to Darrel for the help over AIM even though neither of us could figure it out, i now know a couple more things about my electrical system thanks to him

    um.... kinda.... depends on where you get your bike inspected

    i think it IS legal, but only if the directionals are so many inches apart (like 12-18" or something)... and mine definitely aren't so many inches apart. last time i got my bike inspected i just bolted on the stockers in case someone was watching the guy inspect my bike, but i didn't wire em up.
