Ray (birchr) found a short on another members bike that was pretty difficult to find and though he would share with everyone else just in case the problem reoccurs.

Hi John
Don't know if this may help anyone, but had Biker Benny rang me today as his light fuse kept blowing (Tail & Front) I had remembered reading on here about chaffed wires as they go through the hole in the rear of the headlight. But could not find anything. After taking the tank off etc taking all the connections out of the headlight I isolated it to the speedo.
The little illumination bulbs (push in type) that is held in place by a plastic tie at the bottom of the speedo had come out and the connections were touching. Just thought it may help if someone else has this problem. The bike is an early one as it still has the light switch on the right side, so you can switch the lights off and on..
