Have you checked the cutout on the starter switch? This start switch sticks occasionally and you have to joggle it a few times to make it work.-----

You front head light gets it power from the starter switch assembly so that it can kill the head light while the engine is trying to start.----------

3 things to check.
The Bulb.
The Turn/signal/dimmer/horn switch .
the start switch.
And of course the wiring.
These are all thats involved in the headlight circuit.------------

The starter switches on Honda brands in particular are known to fail from owners hooking up additional accessories and wiring them into the headlight circuit so they only operate when the headlight is on. The starter button is part of the headlight circuit and passes current to the headlight when the button is not depressed. When depressed, the headlight goes out and the voltage is directed to a starter relay.

Additional loads on the headlight circuit cause excessive current through the starter button contacts which causes heat build-up that melts the plastic holding these contacts in place. Eventually the switch gets shorted.By pass the switch and check.This will help.The best option is to replace the start switch.-------

This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

SOURCE: Why does the 30 amp circuit breaker behind the battery box on my 1990 fatboy click once when i push the ignition button? The bike won't start.

Try to reset the circuit breaker. also check for an earth fault on the starter motor .If this is not a circuit breaker and is a relay, you should make sure everything is ready for a start, (ie : in neutral, sidestand up and clutch in and that the battery is charged.) the neutral light being "on" doesn't mean it is in neutral. I hope this helps.
