Help with an electric leak

Somewhere I have a slow drain on my battery. I usually put the bike on the battery tender when I park for the night, so it's not been a real problem--more of an annoying nit.

The other day, I forgot to tenderize it and, 24 hrs later, I barely had enough juice to start up. I got a new YUASA battery over the winter and the symptoms are the same as with the old battery, so I think it must be something that I've inadvertantly wired wrong.

I've added a Stebel horn, Baron's tach, J&M CB communications set-up, alternating flashers, an extra fuse box, air mod, and a Dobeck fuel manager. But I think the problem was going on prior to these additions.

Is there a diagnostic process to isolate the leak? A troubleshooting method for tracking down the problem without yanking individual wires?
