clocks/ lights not working..
so my nc has turned into quite a project after a nice lady destroyed my front end with her car, it has most of a duc front end fitted thanks to riley
and when its nearer compleation i'll post about the whole pproject if there is any intrest and i can figure out how to up load pictures, but anyway...
as above ive got lights and clocks now fitted but when the bike is turned on only the right hand light works, unless on high beam then they both work...
while the high beam is on and i press the passing light button the neautral and oil light flash (or stay on if the button is held) and the temprature gauge moves up slightly apart from this nothing works at all.
the side lights dont work and if the bike is fired up the rev counter also dosnt work and none of the clocks lights up....
im thinking i need to change the bulbs or its a bad earth somewere but haveing no luck with it.
so has anyone had simular problems and sorted it? any sugestions or advice welcomed, thank you

Re: clocks/ lights not working..
sounds like you need to start from scratch with the connections and wiring.
earths sounds suspect too...
