Where has my headlight gone?....

[jamezgreen]

Usually ride my bike during the day but was put in a pretty tough spot over the weekend when I needed to drive home across town and my headlight was out high and low beams! Since I had no other alternatives I had to creep home borrowing the light from other cars. Crazy.

So I've had a little electrical drama before, about a month ago 2 wires touched the cylinder head and shorted out. Fixed the wires, replaced the fuses and I was good to go. Thought it would be a fuse issue again but... both high and low beam fuses are fine and took the bulb out and inspected and the filaments look great too. Is there a way to test the bulb straight off the battery or some other test to better diagnose the issue. ( I have a little voltmeter) I've traced the wiring as best I can and don't see any problem areas. Any ideas?
