I've actually been plugging away at this bike again just not posting the progress
The rear turns signals were intermittent so I checked to see what the issue was and found out the guts of the stem were bad (aka the spring and the end that contacts the base of the bulb)
Gary had the guts for a couple and sent them to me for Christmas (Thanks !!)
Then I thought hey good time to torque the head bolts down (note to self when tightening down the bolts on the upper engine mount make sure the wiring harness is out of the way )
Before I found I did this suddenly whenever I turned the key on the starter would engage (Hmmm someting new )
Evidently when those wires have a chance to get to get together it kicks the starter in)
Time to open up the harness to see what kind of damage I've done
The slickest thing to open the harness with is a sewing seam ripper
One wire almost cut through and one knicked both repaired and now the turn signals work and starter kicks in when asked to
