you've got a poor ground for all of the lighting at the rear of the m/c. trace the ground wire back from the tail section checking the harness under the fender and into the right side cover.
what was said check the rear light bulbs..
A very common failure is with dual filament lamps shorting the filaments together. I would check each dual filament brake/turn lamp by plugging a new lamp in its place.
It should be one of the rear brake lamps (or any other dual filament lamp you have, like on a trunk, lit as a running light and brake light). I don't suspect the front turn signal lamps based on your description, so try them last.
If you have a stock turn signal flasher, they work on the resistance load of the stock # of lamps. Add in more lit lamps (from shorted filaments) and the flasher will never close its contacts due to too much current flow (heat is how they work, using a bi-metallic strip). As soon as the flasher closes its contact, the added load trips it open again so fast that the lights don't ever appear to come on.
I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I am somewhat of an electrician by trade.
I'll check those out when I return from The Mason Dixon Ride I'm not riding that bike on this trip....Thank You all for the reply's
