Wow. I believe I finally got it. After stripping the wiring down to only the headlight and rectifier I couldn't figure out which was responsible so I replaced them both. The rectifier I got from the guy in Oregon which I linked earlier in the thread. The headlight I got off Ebay from Thailand. It is...

Dang, good eye. The wire is flattened somehow but it's not exposed. The silver color is just the reflection of the light. Still I'll replace it just to be sure.

Thanks guys. I had more time for troubleshooting and discovered some things. First off, I did take apart the ignition switch and I should have heeded your warning on that. If anyone is reading this I would not recommend taking it apart. There are ball bearings and small springs inside and it's not f...

Thank you for the reply! I will keep an eye out for pinched wires. I have a manual with wiring diagram for a CA95 and I'm hoping that the wiring is the same as a CA160. To eliminate the rectifier as a potential cause I was going to order one of these: http://www.oregonmotorcycleparts.com/rectifiers....

CA160 blows fuse when ignition switch is turned on
Hey, I have an electrical issue and I'm hoping someone can point me towards a solution. I'm lost when it comes to electrical issues. My bike was running great for years and then seemingly out of nowhere, it has begun blowing the fuse (the one next to the battery and I think the only one on the bike)...
