Kawasaki Concours electrical gremlin

So, how would a gremlin bell/biker bell look on a classic sport-tourer?

I've developed an electrical problem somewhere between a likely near-death battery and the headlight on my 1986 Kawasaki Concours.  I'm not a very good mechanic, and I'm even worse when it comes to electrical problems.  So tonight I'm sitting down with a cool glass of water, my pipe and the instruction manual for my Harbor Freight multi-meter.  Then I'm slowly going through the headlight circuit, left handlebar switch and anything else I can think of to find what's wrong.  I've got to get this bike back on the road-not only is it my running bike, much more economical than my 1975 stepside Chevy truck, it's also getting close to the 100K mile mark!

I'll update the blog later once I get a working headlight on this bike!
