 On another note, a tiny success, re-wiring the nearby melted wires without the melted connector that the rectifier took with it on its way out, lol! I didn't have a connector so I made due with some singles and some heat shrink. Thank goodness, there is enough room where they live to get this bunch back in there.   The bike is all apart right now. I had to get under the speedometer compartment to see what was going on in there, too. The connectors in back of the switches are very brittle. Also, the front brake master cylinder assembly, along with the front brake-line will likely need replacing. It seems , water may have gotten in there and turned brake fluid into a vaseline like consistency. Boy, I bought some neglected stuffs, alright!

Ha! Yes, I'm doing things in between arrival of parts too. Cleaning up some rusty parts with naval jelly and a wire brush ,prepping panels for paint, shopping etc; I have some "shade tree" experience with cars so, no big fears about jumping in. Yet I try to have a healthy respect for not assuming too much.
Agreed, I'm pretty confident that Alleyoop knows what he is talking about . Heck, he could even tell me what each wire was for. Although kind, the vendor did not seem as confident in knowledge about the part .
Thank you, John. That's good to know! You could be doing something on your site right now but you should know that it won't load either by clicking below , nor by a search engine link. :/
