Actually, my Dream has the dual connector for both the blue and green so it might be that easy. It's running so good lately (knock on wood), though, that I'm reluctant to touch it!

Strange, huh? But correct. Seems like a swap of the blue and green wires on my CA78 Dream would reverse that.
I actually thought about that, but since the blue wire has the dual connector for the high beam indicator light it wouldn't be quite that simple- beside, Honda knows best, right?

I just realized that mine has dual connectors on both too. I wasn't thinking about the colors you stated. It would have to be the blue and red wires that are swapped. The green is the hot wire to the switch, the dual being for the speedo "dash" light.

Ahh yes. You are right. Swap the blue and red. Green is hot from ign to speedo light and dimmer sw.
