Well I found the problem, bad ignition switch. Took it apart and cleaned the contacts but the bakelite backing crumbled putting it back together. Now the headlight works like a dream. Unfortunately the brake light doesn't work now. Found a replacement ignition switch on ebay so will give it a try when it gets here next week.
I was pretty happy seeing the headlight Spokes rebuilt come to life. High and low beam worked perfect
At least all the wiring is figured out now.
Has anyone ever put a side car on one of these little bikes? Any ideas on what could fit? And where to get one?
