I'll keep my intro short, I'm a 28 year old truck driver, been wanting a motorcycle for many years, my father was a big Honda riders back in the 70s, loves to retell his cross country trip on a 73 Honda 750 Twin, and so this year I finally went out and found myself a nice 78 Honda CB750.  Good condition but the guy who had it, had torn apart the headlight assembly, the bike came with a Vette Farring on the front, so I think he removed it but then never finished the project, needed money and put the bike up for sale.  So I've been putting the lights back on the front.  Ended up shorting out a wire, blew the 15 amp main fuse, replaced it and got nothing.  Been researching and think I fried the Fusible Link.

So my main question is, where exactly is it or suppose to be, I almost want to say it turned to dust because I've traced the positive battery wire back to the starter solenoid, even pulled the solenoid apart, but I can't find it anywhere.  If someone could explain exactly where its is or suppose to be, or even a picture (be it of the link or a finger pointing to the location), it would help me a lot.  I was hoping to get her on the road this weekend but this no power issue has me stumped.

Thanks.
