Introduction and advise needed.

Hi guys. 
I have been learking in here for a couple of years. Time for me to introduce myself. 
My name is Martin and i Live in Denmark an have had several Kawasaki´s from 1978- 1984
Right now i have a B2 an a 1100 unitrack. 
Just bought the Gpz 1100 B2. I has been parked for 2 years. so it need some tlc. 
But in nice original condition except exhaust and braided brake lines. 
I started working on it and took my first ride this afternoon. LOVE IT.
new brakes, oil,filter,brake switch,clutch plates and springs, bulbs and so on.
But now the the gremlin lurking. The gauge does not work, half of the bulbs does not work too, despite me trying to change bulbs it seems that some of the "bulb" holder does not give electrisity. 
Speedo and rpm does not work too. fuel gauge and warning lights are fine tho. 
Does any of you have an idea where to start?. 
Ps. Orderd a repair manuel, but it gonna arive in a few weeks- 
Best Regards
Martin

Welcome from the UK, with that many elec issues in the instruments it sounds like a "ground" issue (oil and neutral light don't need a ground as it comes from the switches)
