Everything else works...Tailights work, bike starts, blinkers work, everthing else is fine...

This bike has dual bulbs, and they both appear to be intact...Anyone ever have this happen?

This may not help you, but it worked on my bike when I had the exact same problem. Apparently, when the starter button is depressed on my bike, it cuts the headlights. The starter button was just sticky enough to not press on the starter, but to cut the headlights.

This is just what happened to me, but I figured I would throw it out there anyways.

I second this, go check your starter button. The reason it cuts the headlights is to reduce unessasary current draw (allow more current for the starter)

+3 on the starter button. Another thought is the headlight relay if you have one. An easy test is to see if you have voltage on the bulb connector.

BTW, not probable to lose two bulbs at once, but how do you know both bulbs are intact? Are they both dual filament (both have high and low beam)?

I lost both headlights in my car at the same time this week (its rare). Personally I check circuits by placing a load on them. A circuit tester works great and they are cheap. It consists of a light bulb with probe and ground connector. Hook up ground turn the circuit to be tested on and probe the light bulb socket. If the tool lights up you need bulbs. If not keep going backwards to relay, switch and so on. Voltmeters are not so good as you will have voltage until the circuit is activated and the voltage could drop to zero giving you a false indication.
