Up at the top where it says FORUM.... put your cursor over it and a sub menu will drop down.
Now look for the SEARCH icon and click on it...
Then just look for the "KEYWORD" box and type in what you are looking to learn about.

I hope you are not connecting the jumper cables between your motorcycle and a vehicle that is running or a battery charger. Doing that can clobber your motorcycle's electrical system. :( Ed

Yes. Update. easy under a $100 fix. Last street motorcycle I drove, I found a cheap Yamaha, newer one on ebay for $9.99. KZ1075 was running a Dyna S and it had a bright halogen headlight.
And post some pics of that pro-Street. Nice big tire on the back.

You need a modern Reg/Rect. Easy to hook up if you're not afraid of wires.
