You are going to have to bite the bullet and start tracing wires, maybe have to remove the fairings. Somewhere you probably have abraded the insulation off a wire by rubbing on something and it makes a contact with the frame and shorts out and blows a fuse. That is not normal or dumb luck and fuses do not get old and wear out. Your bike is trying to tell you something and you can't ignore it. You do not just replace a blown fuse, it will blow again. That's what Einstein called insanity, doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result. Not having turn signals or a headlight is dangerous and has to be fixed. And maybe next time, something else will go out, like blow the main fuse and the engine quits. Or heat up and start a fire.
