The state I live in does not require turn signals so I opted for taking them off in the front of my '81 XS400. Now that I did this the electric start won't work. When I turn the key on my neutral light lights up but the electric start won't fire. Is there a possible ground I removed that is...

Thanks. The back end lines up well but that pic doesn't show the gap between the front and the tank. Still not sure what I will be doing there to make it look better. Any ideas out there?
