Ok... the problem WAS the battery. The main fuse was fine.
The guy at Battery's Plus, where I got the new one, tested the old one
and while it showed in pretty good shape to start, when put on a load...
it went straight to ZERO cranking amps. He said that he had never seen that
before. So unless the problem is my tender (which is doubtful), the problem was
the lack of use that this bike gets... so the battery just crapped out even though
it was on the tender. Bottom line... ride! Ps... I don't know how Hondahoader
and others with multiple bikes keep their bikes road ready all the time. I have
3... and at times that seems like 2 too many!!!
Success!!! The lights are on, and the motor is running! Now... tomorrow... time
to ride! Then next week... I get to pick up my new CB 1100 Deluxe!!!! Life is good!!
