Well at last all is well.
I gave up on the 2 flasher units I bought, one on eBay and one from a local motor factors, (Lucas for M/C)
got a NOS Honda one from a mate , all is well going for a ride later.
Thanks for all of your input.

Re the frame powder coating I have found the company I use I ask for 80% black it looks like the original and not over glossy.

All the bulbs are as they were before the flasher unit started blowing the fuse. Obviously tracked the relay down as the culprit. and bought
a new relay (well 2 actually both different makes) .I have tried reversing the black and grey and same result with both relays.
God I hate electrics

Don't want to rejoice just yet but it looks like the whole mess is down to a faulty Indicator relay.
I have ordered a new one and will report back.
Looks like Ted may get first prize.
Watch this space
Cheers all for your thoughts.

Thanks Brian just done this this morning.
Disconnect block, check black live into headlight for continuity and all is fine , plug block in and it shorts.
I then check black in sub loom and ok, check black on regulator ok. Something is happening when it is plugged in .????¿

if it didn't blow before I connected the multiple in the side panel would that not mean the problem in in whatever the socket is connected to ?
