I have heard other people talk about problems with wires shorting out in the headlight bucket.That may be your issue.Since it happens when you rev the bike it may be causing just enough vibration at upper rpm's to cause something to move over and short out.Also considering it does it when the high beam wire is energized.Just something to consider/check.As far as a 10 amp fuse,i believe that the gauge wires that Honda used should be able to handle a 10 amp fuse with no problems.IMO. I suppose I'm one of the lucky guys.I still have the stock fuse block on my '76 and , as far as I know,the original fuses.But who really knows.Good luck bud
