Help no headlight 85 interceptor vf700f? - 1

I just bought a 1985 Honda interceptor I bought it for real cheap the headlight wires and the switch wires were cut so I replaced the harness and switch then found the fuse was blown so I replaced that as well but the headlight still won't turn on any ideas

Flat battery?

No bike starts all all other lights work and new headlight bulb

I assume you checked the bulb(s)? If so follow the wires. I'm betting a grounding issue.

Trace the circuit with a multimeter.

Trace the circuit using a test lamp or dmm from the battery through the fuse through the switch to the bulb socket to ground. This is called troubleshooting a series circuit. Won't hurt to have a shop manual with a schematic. Don't assume stuff is good just because it is new. A new bulb filament should read close to zero (0) ohms on a dmm. If the old ground was destroyed by corrosion, you may have to run a dedicated ground return wire to a known good ground.
