I have an 81 750 LTD, that I picked up about this time last year.
I rode it all summer and most of the fall, and just got it out of storage to start riding it again.

I have a strange issue. It started doing it last fall, but now its worse.

The headlight and tail light, marker lights, neutral indicator, and volt meter, only work intermittently.
But, my brake light, turn signal indicator, and turn signals all work perfectly.

And sometimes, when the lights aren't working, they'll work as long as I'm holding down the hand brake lever.

I haven't really begun to trouble shoot it, beyond wiggling wires to see if I can find a loose connection. I figured that before I started taking stuff apart, I would check to see if anyone has had a similar issue and could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Electrical issues on 12v systems are almost always a ground problem.
