Well it wasn't the reg/rec and it wasn't the kill switch so now the fun of tearing into the harness begins (still going to check starter relay and alternator)
Edit: disconnected the starter relay and alternator and still getting continuity on the ignition wire and ground so now I get to tear into the harness
Fun Times....
Double edit: now I'm showing continuity between the black wire (ignition/starter) and the white/green stripe wire (turn signal/brake lights/horn)
That FJR in western MA is looking very tempting

And why can't you have your CBR and an FJR?

Taking a stab at the CBR's wiring diagram, I see that the black wire and white/green stripe wire are in the same 9-pin connector. I would find that connector and disconnect it. Check both sides of the connector for continuity. Then the problem is in the switches/wiring, in the connector, or in the wiring after the connector.
Also, new problem: I get continuity between the black wire at the rec and ground. If I take the fuse out for the tail/meter/position, I lose continuity. With the fuse in, if I pull the connector to the dash lights (backlights for speedo and tach) I lose continuity.
It''s almost like the short is in the tail/meter circuit and back-feeding to pop my ignition fuse.
EDIT: I figured out the continuity through the dash lights - duh, one side hot, the other side is ground which is the green wire which I'm hooked up to by the rectifier. It's finding continuity because all the fuses are still in the fuse block.
The black wire for the ignition circuit has been checked out and is not shorting anywhere (I have several pounds of duct tape that I removed from the wire harness, not pretty)

I tried that this morning (seems so long ago), but now I have to re-wrap the whole harness and hook up everything again
