    Light problem

    I think I am getting a short somewhere in the main headlights. if I have them unplugged everything is fine(except the headlights aren't going) but as soon as I plug either (or both) lights in, the high beam console light comes on (when the switch is on low) and the indicators are stuck on. Anyone got any ideas about where I should look for a short?

    The bike is a '93 GSXR750

    thanks team

    light cable travels down the left hand side of the bike under the fairing, was rubbing on a metal joint which must have been shorting it. Coated in insulation tape now
