1st my headlight quit working, then the lights in the gauges, then all the lights (taillight, oil light). The battery was fine because the E-start still worked. All the fuses checked good. I cleaned all the connections and the taillight came back on. it wouldn't actually start (even with the kick start) so I figured the plugs weren't sparking. I ended up just replacing the 30 year old fuse box and fuses to the new style automotive blade fuses and charging the battery overnight and everything works again. Here's the part I used:

Wired everything up with crimp on connectors. I had to move the box between the pods though, it won't fit under the seat. I'll get some pics later but it looks and works pretty sweet.
