While riding last night, the tachometer, turnsignals, cruise control and brake lights stopped working. The front turnsignals are on, but don't flash.
I have headlight, the front turnsignal clearance lights, stereo, all gauges except the tach work.
I've replaced the fuse, no luck.
I thought it might be a bad wire in the fender or rear light assembly. I had the stock rear fender assembly. Plugged it in. No luck.
Not sure where to look next. Could it be the brake light relay, in the fuse pannel?
Any wiring gurus out there?

Mine started doing something very similar. Did you get any help or figure it out? If so post it as I am very frustrated with mine! I am on a FLHTC 1986.
