85 gs1150/1100 drag bike wiring question

[Guest]

picked this bike up from gs1150streetracer. my intention is limited street duty. Rick installed a good stator and sent with the bike a r/r. i wired up the three stator wires, mounted and plugged in the r/r. it became hard to start and was blowing the main fuse. unhooked and the problem ceased. also have gauge lights, warning lights, but no headlight, tail light or brake light. harness looks intact and the stator and r/r were pure plug and play.
any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting?
thanks
sure looks purty though, don't it?

I see you found an ignition cover...I was gonna send you one but it wouldn't have been that pretty. You are welcome to borrow my 1150 manual that came with my 84. Dar

you have 3 or more different problems.

tail and head power go thru the safety light control box. it is located under the tank on the right side. It has 2 seperate plugs going into it.

fuse blowing probably is a bare wire in a pinch point.

I'd yank the whole harness and do it in a simpler fashion. The 1150 harness is overdone and redundant in many ways.

on my street bike I still have to tap my control box to get the tail light to illumate once in a while.

i'll check those plugs first. thanks
one plug was disconnected. i thought "good, this will be easy". didn't fix the problem. so i pulled the tail section and found the tail light sub harness with its associated plug all rubbed bare exposing all the wires bare. must of rubbed during burnouts/runs down the strip. anybody got a tail light sub harness they want to sell?
