Yeah I know. I'm joking. I'm glad she enjoys riding with me. I will try to do a better job of protecting my dignity here

Most of us have a SWMBO. Some ride and like bikes. Some understand that we need toys to play with or we get cranky. Had mine for thirty some years and I wouldn't know how to behave with out her. Nice buy on the pair

Some better photos of the special.
Got the brakes cleaned and working right. Needs front fork fluid or rebuild. Also can't seem to get the special to turn on. Power to the ignition switch. 11.5 volts on the Hot wire. But then as soon as I switch it on it drops to nothing. Tried three different switches and two solenoids and same thing. Even pulled ignition and solenoid from working bike and same deal. Not sure where to go from there, gonna start tracing I guess.72 Cb900 C

After looking at a wiring diagram I am wondering if it is a faulty reg/rec causing voltage to drop to zero in the on position.72 Cb900 C

Bad connection at the fuse block or a bad ground it sounds like.2H7 (79) owned since '89
