[QUOTE="bajaleo, post: 1217958, member: 28080"] Update: Sunday, after having working headlights, I started to reassemble the bike. I stopped after attaching each part to start the bike and check for working headlights. All was fine until I began to install the left side lower fairing. I loosely hung the panel with one plastic rivet and one screw. I started the bike, and NO headlights. WTF? I then shook the loosely attached panel and the lights came on. Aha! Loose connection somewhere. Off came the panel. Started the bike and shook the $hit out of all the connectors to try to get a headlight flicker but no luck. By then I was sick and tired of working on the bike and went to bed. Last night I got after it again. Started the bike and got headlights, preceeded by a flicker. Turned the bike off, restarted and NO headlights. Shook all the connectors and couldn't get them to come on. Going to try to look at them again tonight. Is it time for me to start testing wires with a meter? Any advice how to start this process or any advice in general? Is there something I'm missing? Thanks, Leo Still not riding. [/QUOTE]
