I had a mobile electrician come and resolder the back right circuit board to make the rivets contact the board again. as far as the headlight I put the new one in and it fixed itself concerning the brightness.
all is well and now i have to address the engine and its many oil/heating issues. i was told that this model runs at around 208-210 degrees but on long rides in the sun it tends to get higher than that.
i might just sell it as it is in excellent condition to be restored by someone with more cash to spend.
thanks for responding!
