Ok.. here's the problem:

     The last time my bike was running, when I turned on the turn signal, the tach needle was bouncing in synq with the signal relay and the signal lights just stayed on. Now, the bike will not start and when I turn it on and hit the brake, the brake light goes out and the signal lights come on like brake lights.
     Today, I pulled the tank off (fuel leaked out of the petcock in the "on" position, but thats another problem) I pulled the wiring harness apart and checked for continuity for all of the wires and everything tested fine... I checked all of the grounds and they tested fine as well.... Any help would be greatly appreciated ;D

I sent you an email, but for everyone elses benifit:
open up & check the relays, their probably full of corrosion.  you could also just buy marks wire harness and relays.  i've swapped out a harness and it's not that hard.  you'll have to swap the connectors for the guages, the plastic is different (cause of the fuel guage)
