.." it it still had the electrical problems."
Funny the turn signals on my '79 stopped working. Don't recall when this was, probably years ago..I used hand signals.
Recently , I decided to try & fix the TS..to get them working again. I checked the bulbs & all were good, as was wiring to the signals.
Tried replacing TS flasher with oem one..they don't exist..anymore. TS flasher is inside headlight shell, a rectangular box (looks like a circuit breaker)
HD had a 'replacement..think it was around $30..& looking at it..it was ROUND. No way it's fit in the clip inside the headlight housing. Went to an auto parts store, guy told me all the TS flashers were the same..round. Cost About $5.00+tax Was a chore , getting it stuffed in the already crowded headlight shell, but with persistence, was able to get everything stuffed inside & now the TS work again! I have had problems with wires breaking, that attach to the relay for the starter motor. My Indy, mechanic, Dave. showed me how to CORRECTLY attach a terminal to a wire, Using shrink wrap, and that stopped my electrical problems.
Amazing, most the wiring on the bike is oem..guess everything still works 'cause no backyard mechanic ( besides me) has messed with the wiring.
