    GOT IT!!!!!!

    there was black wire in one of the block connectors that was loose and the fuse for the headlight was loose. when I wiggled the wire the light would turn on and off. Seems that the bike has a different R/R and one of the wires a green one to be exact was tied into the headlight fuse. this caused the holder for the fuse to be loose and did not make a good connection. I don't know if it is correctly connected but right now everything works. If anyone has a stock R/R for my 550ES I wouldn't mind to install the correct one.

                Green is a ground on R/Rs that use green instead of black. You had an intentional short. Hope you don't have some serious damage caused by that.

                    Are you sure? When I get home I will take a look at all the wires on it. I know it has one more wire than the stock RR has. I dont have any idea what bike the RR is off of. Everything seems to be working fine but I still have yet to ride this bike.
