Just recently purchased an 2001 softail standard, and have put approx. 200mi. first my speedo stopped working then I lost my headlight and signal lights. Does anyone have any ideas or ran into the similiar problem.

Where should I start looking to narrow the problem down.

I imagine you lost them both at the same time. On that model I think both are on the same circuit. Replace the fuse and look for frayed or crushed wires under the seat.
