I've lost all four headlights and have checked the bulbs and fuses. All four bulbs are ok and the fuses all test ok as well. where do I go from here.....is it a switch problem or perhaps a relay?

Re: No headlights
Mess with the start button. Common problem and may need to be cleaned.
The GL1800 is a crotch rocket on Steroids.

Re: No headlights
I second that. The starter button sticks and doesn't return all the way and the headlights stay off.

Re: No headlights
If you have only highbeams and you just used reverse play with the reverse switch, it also sticks even though the reverse light goes out and you can return to forward gearing. Both the start and reverse switches cut out headlights, the deference being the highbeams work still if its the reverse switch. Fiddle with them and spray clean them out. I noticed when the weather got cold both mine gave me some grief when it went below freezing.
