While I had things apart I also added LEDs to the dash since only the Gen light worked. Much better! Thanks to WG for the ancient thread that pointed me to Super Bright LEDs . com site. Hoping to test it out once I get some time; I'm thinking the fork brace might have been adjusted poorly and causing some stiction.

If you still have the original Bosch charging system, then you'll need to add a resistor to the charge warning light circuit or it won't charge. I bought mine from Greg Bender.
I extended the one for my V50 to reach from the diode board to the fuseblock.

Thanks Charlie. I should have specified that I left the original one in there because of this. It was also the only light that still worked!
Funny thing is the LED lights are polarity sensitive and my hit rate for installing them the correct way the first time was worse than inserting a USB stick :-)
I was also able to get this P45t base headlight bulb from Ruiandsion at Amazon when a few months ago I was unable to find anything.:

It's a direct fit but i haven't tested the beam pattern at night yet.

Hi Jim

It's not everyone's cuppa but it was my first stab at buggering about with motorcycles! It might help.
