Every time I put main beam on, it pops the 20amp fuse.
The bulb currently fitted is standard, but it used to have a 100/120 watt. The problem has existed since that bulb blew.
Any ideas where I should start looking for a short (assuming it is a short causing the fuse to pop)?

Re: Main beam
If you didnt fit a relay with the 100/120w bulb, chances are that something has melted.
Start looking at the 3 way connector that plugs into the bulb and work backwards.

Re: Main beam
first port of call i'd say is the lh switchgear.
chances are you burnt the switch contacts - they're tiny!
there is a relay tho - it might've gone.
or as phil suggests - possibly the wiring on the back of the h4 socket
it couldve got hot and melted the placcy off, then touched the frame or fairing bracket.
if it has then it will probably be messy - lots of snipping to do.

plug n play, no more burnt wires or switchgear

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
