So the saga continues...
• Blinkers and Brake light quit again. The flasher was broken, when shaken in rattled. Had my Father-in-law check for shorts, but everything was good. Replaced the brake light and the flasher. He had an idea to mount the flasher in foam, so I got a dense piece of packing and we drilled a hole into it and mounted it under the seat (you can see the original mount at the bottom):
Seems to be working fine, but my brake light quit again this morning...considering an 1157 or equivalent LED bulb that might withstand the vibes.
Also, I had to remove the front brush guard.. the weld at the top came apart and the metal braces on it came off. I re-welded it and am in the process of repainting. I'll post pics on this later.
