thanks for the post.... I'm having the same problem.  The filaments are fine and have been since I replaced the brake bulb. i replaced the harness and rewired the whole bike over the winter and it ran perfectly all summer.  the wiring hasn't changed since it worked.

one thing that did happen to my 74 750 is that the left front blinker light fell out of the housing, and was bouncing around inside the blinker casing.  i put it back in and the blinker worked fine but right after that, i noticed that the brake stopped lighting when applying either the hand and foot levers after that (running light has not been a problem).  the fuses are fine, the bulb is in good condition, i triple checked all the connections in the headlight, under the seat, into the fuses.... it's a mystery.

i tried your suggestion re: grounds but it still won't light when the levers are pulled.

i'm out of ideas. next, i'll buy a new bulb, but i'm 99% sure it's not that...

any more ideas?
