    Ok, so not a million miles away from me then...........i'm in Kingstanding.
    If you can get the bike over to me, and yourself of course, I'll spend the day (or so) seeing what I can fathom out for you.
    If you need to leave it here with me, I can always drop you back home on the back of one of my bikes.:eek:

    Well, I don't know what your "kissing",:rolleyes: but it sounds like you are "missing" a live feed from somewhere.
    You could create one from the switched side of the ignition (the wire which comes live when you turn it on), then put it to the live side of one of the brake light switches and see what happens then.

    Just done that found out that im missing a live feed as when i connect a 12v feed to brake light switch the brake light comes on then the electric start works on the button but only when 12v is connected to brake light switch

    Do you reckon this could be causing my issues if the clocks are not working maybe not sending power to the rest of the switches ??

    Power runs the other way round. The clocks are just an auxillary item.
