2001 R1100R Electrical lighting issue.

Hello fellow oilheads,
My 2001 R1100R has had a strange electrical issue since I bought it about a year ago. The tail light and low beam on the front would not work. I rode for that first season during the day only knowing about this issue which I only realized after I brought the bike home... I blame my Dad who actually picked it up and gave it that "all clear" Anyway, after taking a break for several months the battery died. I am currently replacing it and while I'm at it also taking a look at the wiring/electrical issue.
I'm kind of hoping this is something that others have noticed before and that there is some standard fix, I really don't want to have to tear apart the whole electrical system. And before anyone suggests it... I have replaced the bulbs and yes the brake light does work as does the high beam.
Thanks
