Are you sure they,re not on and wont turn off?

A little more information would be helpful...did this failure happen suddenly or after work was done to the bike? Check basics...fuse, conditions were the switches are located, front lever switch underneath at near master cylinder, rear switch is in line with master cylinder hose and is a pressure switch. Could also be wire under the fender snagged by the tire or corrosion in socket to actually a bad lamp. Careful inspection is necessary...go to self help section to see a basic wiring diagram. :s

If Brake light not working with either brake i would start at the bulb and work forward from there

I would go along with Brian's suggestion first, since the bulb is common to both brake systems. May have corrosion on the socket, if the bulb itself is good.

Make sure bulb has 2 filaments and not one then re-install with dielecric grease to make sure good connection.

Check all the wiring inside the rear fender. I've chaffed through those wires with the tire several times. Even plays havoc with the headlight.
