Here is the OP........

And Versy and Dave were once again the resident wizards!
I hope MJ appreciates just how much you two make this site trump all the other savage forums, and yes, you can tweet that  

The fix:
I stopped by the local NAPA and got a new lamp, it was 6 bucks.
I came home and put it in, BAM, she lit when I turned the key.
Now, I hit the starter....
Off she goes, motor catches, release starter, and light comes back on, cool  
I then pull that lamp, put back in old one.
Turn key, she lights.
Hit starter button, light goes out, motor grabs, I let go.....
WTH, no light  
OK, I move to starter switch, fool with it like a newb, twist it, smack it a few times like I am trying to knock some sense into JOG (that never works, but hey, nothing to lose trying)  
Pull the wires coming out from the switch, try again, and that does the trick.
Tested a few more times, all good. I'll pull it apart later, when I change out my winter windscreen to my summer fly, as it is blocking my access to the screws.
Clean it all up and seal it up good as my bike takes a soaking up here sitting in the parking lot at work.

Thanks guys, you make this site rock!!!!

Seems to simple, but if you know what to yank....or which button, to push...
The results can be amazing
