1973 cb500 build

Okay so I have a problem. The brown wire on my harness is supposed to be the power for the running light. There is a female end at both the front and the back of the harness. I had the LED's working and everything was going alright until I accidentally touched the brown wire to the wire that goes to the neutral switch. Now the LED's are much dimmer. Also the brown wire is reading 12 volts when it's not connected to anything and 20 when it's connected to the tail light. I'm very confused so any help would be greatly appreciated
 
So today I took the tank to the painter. I saw some of his stuff and it looks great. He does some intricate airbrushing too. I came home and put on the carbs and hooked up my throttle and cables

Hey Goodfella, what filters are those on your carbs?

Those are the old uni filters with the chrome caps on the ends. They came in the mail with little scratches but they wouldn't replace them because they were discontinued .

As you can see the clearance is perfect
 
Everyone who needs their old rotors drilled and ground needs to read this. Yesterday I found out about a guy about an hour away from me named Tom. He has 25 years of grinding experience and owns truedisk.net. He used to make the diamond tooling for the grinders that he uses on the rotors. I'm not exaggerating when I say he is the real deal. I drove down to his place today and watched the whole process. Not only does he do great work but he is also one of the most genuine guys I've met. He charges 45 to straighten out and regrind a rotor and 25 to drill any design you want as long as it's safe. He does all the calculations right there. Go to his site for more info on how to ship your rotors to him. He can do any rotor besides the big buel ones. He also told me that the people on eBay who use Blanchard grinders are doing it wrong so make sure you send it to him. Pics of before and after

His name is Jeff and he owns Michigancustomcycles.com

He lives about an hour north of Detroit in Dryden and does the work at his house. Nice guy who does good work and he's only 45 min away.

Good thing I have this OEM Honda bearing retainer tool . I still fuck up the retainer but at least it's in there.

Between the two of there retainers, I don't think I've ever been more frustrated. And I'm sure I'm not the first one to say that
 
New front and rear sprocket. I also trimmed up the rear sprocket plate because it does nothing to help the chain stay on and is only there to cover up the retainer and hold an O-ring in place. I like the open sprocket look
