Hey my dad has an 80' GS850G and the fuse for his headlight and turn signals keeps on burning out. It's the right amperage fuse, so that's not the problem. Also yesterday we took apart the head light assembly to see if there was a short there and everything checked out there. Then we popped a new fuse in and it worked fine. So we thought that maybe it would be ok. Then we went for a ride and about 15 min in the fuse burned out again. The next step would be to go through the whole wire harness to check for shorts, I just wanted to post here first to see if anyone had anything that we didn't try yet. Thanks.

First of all, there are two separate fuses for the headlight and turn signals, but the general procedure for finding the problem will be pretty much the same.
Check the wiring harness where it rubs on the steering neck. As the wires drag across the frame when the wheel is turned, the insulation is gradually worn away.
Evidently your worn spot is still on the small side, so it only makes occasional contact, blowing the fuse.
