There is a relay in line to the lights, that may have failed so no lights. Also check the bulbs, some times a power surge in the system can burn both bulbs out at once.
Fog Lights don't work????? Checked every fuse on bike - all fuses okay. Any ideas out there? Thanks.

Well as already stated could be the relay but it could also be a bad switch,or a broken power or ground wire any where in that system. Wires can break with out shorting and blowing a fuse. With both lights not working I would guess the issue is not in the lights them selves but some where before the wire splits into two wires. One to each light.
Check power to the switch and power out of the switch.
Check power to the relay and power out of the relay.
By checking these things it will tell you if the trouble is before or after the switch or before or after the relay.
Also check the grounds. If each light is grounded separately it's probably not the ground for the lights. If they have a common ground then it could be a bad ground. There is also a ground wire to the relay. If it is bad the relay will not close and send power to the lights.
I seriously doubt that it was a power surge because if for some reason there was a power surge you should have more troubles than just the fog lights. A power surge normally would not just affect one particular system on your trike. It could be possible but not very probable.
Hope this infor helps.

Thanks, guys. Now I have a starting point.
Make sure it's not on high beam

Thanks, I guess I didn't even think of the most obvious thing to check first.
