First the headlight is not a good circuit to put stereo on
seems like bad fuse.
measure voltage at fuse especially when lights are suppose to be on.
if you do not have enough volts to work headlights it for sure wont start.

There should be a starter relay but it sounds like the trouble is before the relay. I am not used to giving advice on a touring so will have to check wiring diagram tomorrow.

Did you check the continuity across the fuses? I learned the hard way that they can look good and not be.
I put an Eastern Beaver Headlight bypass in mine, and it connects directly to the battery. It has it's own fuse. Might check for something like that if you haven't already.

Pull the fuses and look down in the plastic "fuse box" Sometimes the spade terminals get hot over time when excess current runs through them and the plastic melts either insulating or causing the terminal to back out and not make good contact with the fuse, causing an open circuit.
