Thanks Mike. I originally had the red and black/white wire hooked up so that was a problem. When I realized that, I put the red and black wire together, but still nothing. Then I realized my electrical tester was not working. Then I tried it again, and still nothing. Then I checked the new fuse I put in last night, and it was blown. I replaced the fuse and the bike fired up with the electrical start for the first time since I had it. Thanks so much for your help. I ordered some new light bulbs and other stuff to see if I can actually get it running well enough to go on the road. Thanks again!!!!
