1 of 2 solved.
The neutral switch had turned sligtly, no big deal.
On the alternator, I'm not getting ground from the
alternator spade connector - "the upright" one. If I
ground the alternator light wire to the alternator body -
bingo - light.
With the bike running, the battery does show charging
(14v).
Could this just be a bad alternator - or am I reading it
wrong?
Thanks, -tom

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.
