[Old Guard]

My 79 wing has been running fine until last week.Tried to start it, all it would do is dim the neutral light.have turn signals and taillight, but no headlight. Checked all fuses. solenoid,and starter. all okay. have cont thru start switch. ignition switch? have run out of ideas.

Discharged or damaged cell in battery? Cracked dog-bone fuse? Solenoid faulty ? Starter damaged or needs stripping/cleaning? Those are the first 4 that spring to mind.

Checked starter, solenoid,fuses, all okay.

First off, thanks to all for the help. Back on the road again. I have a new question that has nothing to do with motorcycle problems. A few months ago I saw a video about a trike add on that showed the bike leaning. This was not a front conversion, but rear outriggers that leaned. I have spent hours searching, but have not been able to find the video or any related info. If anyone knows where I can find this info I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
