1986 Connie back on the road

Just a quick note to update the 86 Connie electrical gremlin saga.  Turns out it was the J-box after all, so now I'm a bit concerned about the one on the 1994.  The guys at Poway Motorcycle put a new pigtail on (the automotive one for an H4 bulb works fine) but still no headlight.  So the J-box got pulled off, put on the bench and closely inspected.  Sure enough the headlight/starter relay was shot so some solder was flowed in there to restore the connection.

Good to go, rode it a bit Saturday and over-all runs great-they also smoothed out the idle and fuel mix a bit.
