Ted,
have you replaced the headlight connector with one from an auto parts store?
are you using a regular sealed headlight?
I did that a long time ago and one day when riding home from work it started
to sputter and smoke came from under the gas tank.
What had happened was that the "universal" headlight connector from the auto
parts was pushed into the fuse panel, which caused a direct short of the
coil power wire, which got hot and burned off the insulation.
