zen ,If the front ones are working( and flashing?) the wiring for the rears must be your only problem.There are two hot wires,and two grounds,the ground wires both being black /white stripe, maybe you've mixed them up ,crossing the circuits,I'd try swapping the two grounds and see if the lights work.

Figured it out.  It was an issue in the wiring to the back lights.  Probably where I had to solder them together.  

I cut the wires and reconnected directly into the harness and they worked.

Thank you guys for all your help.  You truly kick ass!

will post a picture when it is all put back together.   I really turning out awesome.  Thanks again!

JOG2,has a point! it is important to tell us as much as you can about your problem,so that we can give the best advice.We're "flying blind"here and only know what you tell us.More info gives us a better starting point........ also it's always good to work on one thing at a time,if something fails to work you'll know  what you  did last ,as the place to look first.

Well, the last thing he did was arc the battery, but I explained that only the battery was affected. He never said he'd been working on wires associated with turn signals.
It's a newbie thing. Everyone goes through it.

Yeah but we motivated him with information , and he found and fixed it !
We all win , SS rules !!

I'm still amazed at our enthusiasm over this odd little cruiser/entry level bike. Is it the bike or the members ?
The bike draws us in and the members keep you from leaving.

I wasn't trying to single Zen out ,but hoped that maybe others new to the site would understand that if we receive more info up front we wouldn't have to motivate people for as much info ,thus saving time and trouble getting to the heart of problem.Without proper info we tend to give answers that send the people off on tangents,that waste time because they don't relate to the problem,ie like having him check fuses/flasher before the wiring.How many times have we read ..help My S-40 won't start!- with no info where do we begin ?

I get it and my observation is most of the problem posters are new to this and lack experience and don't understand that concept. So let's just be happy that one is off the board , success !

I Used to ask if someone has been doing any work on the bike. I slipped up. Coulda had the Zen dude moving in the right direction sooner. I'm not kicking a new mechanic. He did good. I'm not so pleased with how I did.
