Both headlight and rear running lights out.  High beam and turn signals working front and rear.  Fuses OK.  Can this be a simple matter of headlight replacement?

Rear running lights?  Unless you've got an I/S or you've modified your Standard/Tourer's rear turn signals, you don't have  rear running lights except for your tail light.  You probably need a new headlight bulb if your low beam is out.

Thanks Marty!  Don't look much behind me and thought that the rear turn signals also were running lights.  Will replace the bub and see how it goes!

At least weekly, MSF says before every ride, you should inspect you bike for obvious things not working.  Iirc the acronym is TCLOCS.  Tires, Controls, Lights, Oil, Chassis, Stand.  For more info go to www.msf-usa.org
