As long as all of the lights are working, it should be good to ride (if you had wired something wrong, it would explode in a ball of fire -- no, not really, but something bad would happen, like blowing a fuse).  Be sure to perform a system check before each ride:  all lights must work properly, before you swing a leg over.

If you get the wires crossed/mis-connected, you can have all kinds of weird problems ('floating ground' connection most likely).  However, you cannot argue with success.  If it works, ride, and enjoy.

I replaced my fusible link with a 30-amp blade fuse, in a modern blade fuse holder.  I crimped on two round connectors, but I should have soldered the wires on top of crimping them.  Crimping is often poorly done, either bad technique, or a cheap crimping tool, which leads to poor connections, and intermittent problems later on.  Soldering is best, but also the least convenient, so I sometimes skip that step...  And pay for it later.  I think Tools installed a 30-amp circuit breaker, which means pushing a button if it opens, rather than installing a new fuse.  Either will work.  Cheers!
