welcome to HDtalking
to me it sounds like you have a intermittent short. you might have a place on the harness where it is worn and the wires are rubbing on the frame. try following your lights harness, would be easier if you were able to get it on a stand. JMO good luck

Is it a updated headlight bulb. Like going from 55/65 to a say 85/100 bulb. I would open up headlight assembly and check to see if brighter bulb has melted connector and connector shorting out and blowing fuse. Remember that headlight comes on with ignition on. I had this experience on a different bike. Headlight connector melted so bad that I had to cut harness from bulb and toss bulb and connector....
