The battery on my Harley goes dead if the bike sits for a few days. I think I have a short or something in the head light circuit, which I modified to installed a flashing modulator. Probably a bad connection allowing + to ground? How do I isolate, so I can eliiminate the problem? Would a sharp point test light find it? I kind of know how to use a multi-meter, at least for resistance and voltage, not so sure for amperage. Any insight would be appreciated.

I had this problem last year, but it went away later in the summer. Don't think it is in the headlight bucket as I just had the dealer install a new one. I guess I'll start by re-doing my connections where I cut into the harness to install the modulator.
