Back home from a week traveling for work and visiting family but not on the bike. Connie battery dead-very little charge. I think I either put this battery in when I bought the bike, or it was in it when I bought it in early 2010. Since the bike sat for two years it's old but also been used. I still haven't found the short or other reason the front headlight won't come on, so I'm going to start by pulling the battery off the 1994, putting it on trickle charge and then prepping to go through the front wiring harness and headlight circuit slowly and painstakingly with a multi-meter.
I have rarely done electrical work, and never this kind of trouble shooting. Ugh.
