just died
hopefully i won't make this to long . I was out for a ride been riding for about 1 1/2 hrs and it was like someone turned the key off have plenty of battery but no power to lights or starter or anything trucked it back home checked the breakers with key off and have power to main breaker.. key turned on no power to any breakers. took all wires off breakers except ignition wires from key key on all breakers good but no matter what wires i put on next my power goes bye bye to my breakers what could be causing all my wires be grounding out the only on that is not is the wire to my starter relay any push in the right direction would be helpful thanks in advance this is on a 1990 fxrs bone stock

Leave the breakers connected, forget about checking continuity to ground (of course those circuits would have continuity to ground, that`s how it works, the power goes into the wire, through the bulb or whatever it goes to , then goes to ground..)
Right now you need to check for system voltage.
Touch the negative voltmeter probe to ground, then one at a time, read voltage at each stud on the main breaker.
What are your readings?
Next, read voltage where the wire from the main breaker connects at the ignition switch (red wire).
What is the voltage reading?

You can`t slide the boot off the ignition switch?
With ignition switch on (and all breakers connected), read voltage at the copper color stud on the ignition breaker and the accessory breaker, there is probably a copper bar connecting them, if so , just measure the voltage at that bussbar.

I`m guessing that you are reading virtually no voltage at the ignition breaker, correct?
What is the voltage at the main breaker, with the ignition switch turned on?
