Appriciate the insight, and the reminder that the lights run off the generator/alternator once the bike is started.
Good news, my battery may have come back to life. I charged it for about 24 hours with an old (Sears) standard charger using the 2 Amp setting I thing - not a Battery Tender. The first time I did it it was 12 hours or so. 24 hours may have really let the charge take hold. After 24 hours the reading (going into the battery), looked like mayber 1/4 to 1/2 Amps.
