Jim,
90% of my electrical problems with the Tiger have been caused by unreliable
grounding. With the brake lights and turn signal lights (both rear and
front), I have soldered ground wires to the sockets of each of these bulbs.
Of course, find a suitably reliable place to attach these wires
electrically and mechanically to the chassis. Once you do this, the socket
can fall completely out of the taillight assembly and the light will still
operate.
