    I'd say you've got 2 issues going on...brake light staying on could be one of the switches,front has a shim to keep the switch depressed,if that is out of place the button will be out which completes the circuit,like when you pull the brake lever it comes out or the hydraulic rear switch and the headlight/radio problem is probably a loose ground, check the battery cables and there should be a main ground strap from the fairing to the frame/triple trees...check for looseness

    hope this helps give you a place to start looking until someone has more/better info...:)
