Measure the battery with the engine off, and then again when running. Voltage should jump to the 13 or 14 volt range when running.

I think it may just be a bad battery connection. I'll be looking at it tonight.

A good ground is mandatory. Don't just run the ground wire from the battery to the motor; branch off to the frame as well. Larger wire is better.

The battery connections were rusty still.
I still need to ride it around with the lights on and check but the voltage is there. |

Neither cable are correct. Le Sigh.

Honestly, it's not difficult. We would be happy to walk you through it.

That'd work.
i suppose i could get an aftermarket dash for it, but seems like what's there should work fine. |

So 3 cables down now.
The one from the new vendor here arrived pretty quick. Just isn't the right one for this thing. |

Still open to input for cables.
Put a front tube in it, and a box on the back. ![]() Saddlebags at some point. |
