Tom,
Have you been inside the tranny lately? The neutral switch is nothing
more than a metal tab with a bend on the tip that comes in contact with
a nub on the shift drum when neutral is selected. Could be this tab is
bent way to far. Pull the switch out and check the tab. As for the gen
light, I would look at the wiring from the new alternator focusing on
the light section and checking connectors and continuity.

Symptoms: 1974 Eldo Police (disk) 1. Neutral light stays on at all times switch is on - regardless of gear (even neutral). 2 wires on the switch. Ground fault? 2. Generator light. Put on the Nolan/Field alternator - triple checked wiring. Battery is charging, bike runs great, no generator light, ever. I pulled light from under dash and checked - yep - 12v on the red wire with switch on. However - if I ground the light socket at the red wire connector with switch on - magic, it lights. Ground fault? All other dash lights, handlebar controls, signals, brake lights, work as normal. Something common here? I can't see anything obvious, bike runs fine, no spitzen & sparken.
