The apes are probably what probably was the beginning of the end of this bike being on the road for the last owner that had it running. Someone extended the wiring by just clipping each wire and adding a section in. That would have been fine if they had soldered and covered with heatshrink tubing. But they just twisted the wires and covered them loosely with a little tape. Then they damaged the insulation on some of the wire when they pulled it through the bars. Bet those bare spots released some gremlins.
