Jeff,
Pardon my ignorance as to your particular bike's electrical system
- but to have everything work fine for a ride into town then have the
electrical system magically stop working before the ride home - I have a
sneaking suspicion that the fault is something simple that may have been
overlooked. Here are a few thoughts:
I've seen batteries that had one bad cell, they would show
sufficient voltage, but when used would actually fail to work properly
Battery cables - particularly ground cables - are often dirty and
can use a good cleaning - on both ends.
If a ground cable has failed - the entire electrical system will
appear dead - since it is in effect, unhooked. Ditto for the 'hot' cable
for that matter.
I have personally found and replaced fuses that would work
properly when checked with a volt meter but had actually failed and would
separate under load.
I don't know if any of these apply to you, but I would suggest
that any of them could.
