Is there anyway you can remove the headlight on all the time feature?

Then you some something connected wrong. With that original switch you swith headlight on/off manually. If you keep switch in On position, you have it like automatic, headlight goes on/off with ignition.
I advice you to take proper schematic diagram for your USA model and check wiring in headlight, I expect there is something modified
Bryanj:
Aftermarket switches tend to have the wrong wiring colours so you need to sort out what happens with a multimeter ad diagram

OK, cheers guys will have another good look in there tomorrow. Good news is that I've got power and the engine turns over with the oil light going out.
So I'm getting closer.
The bike hasn't run since the 80s, so I'm thinking I'm quite lucky
