I just got a 1975 Honda CB200T for a restoration project and I'm already having problems. I've been trying to reconnect the wiring harness inside of the headlight bucket. Last night, I got the neutral light and headlight working. And now, nothing will work. Not sure what I did. Could I 've shorted something out? Please help.

This might sound a bit silly, but bear with me.

Firstly, it`s 1975 Shocked bike Surprised so you may have one or two old/corroded/broklen wires that were working until you disturbed/moved them??
As Mr Yarr said, possibly a fuse?
The battery might not be up to the job?

Now heres the silly bit, but it has worked for me once or twice when working on older bikes.
Have the engine running if you can when trying to find out if a wire is feeding the right place/current.
I know it`s not always possible but once or twice when I have been mucking around with the wiring, it has just made a little bit of a differance.
For Example my little mighty CG is an older 6v model and even with a brand new relay and battery, without the engine running the indicators struggle to flash???
