That happened to me once, but it was the fuse. I never did find the problem, and it's still problem free years later.Dogma

Head light is on different fuse than the taillight and instrument lights.
DOes Ignition work?
If Ignition does work then I would not suspect the key swtich, but suspect the fuse block itself.
Find a spare fuseblock on ebay.
They changed about the 82 year.
And.... is hard to troubleshoot electrical problem with your eyballs. Need a voltmeter, or at least a test light probe.

I have the exact same bike and I had the same problem a few days ago. And I didn't realize it until right before dark when an F350 pulled out in front of me due to me having no headlight!
In my case I initially thought it was a bad ignition plug but it turned out to be a different plug. I didn't even bother tracing down what it goes to but it is a white 9 pin plug (with only 8 pins in it I believe) that is located up under the ignition coils toward the back.
I was lucky because saved the wire harness from my parts bike and all of the plugs on it are in good shape so all I had to do was remove the pins and transfer them to a new plug socket. I cleaned everything up, sanded them down, gooped on some dielectric grease and it now it works great. No more flickering dash lights either.Comment

Probably the multi function switch on the bars. I lost my lights on I-95 at 70 mph by hitting the high beam switch.
I replaced mine with GS650G controls, much better now.1981 GS650G , all the bike you need

Found the issue.. no power from brown from ignition switch. Bridged orange and brown and all good now. Going on 100 miles now.. thought I would post my findings. Thank to bass cliffs wire diagram. Sure help out a bunchComment

There is no power FROM the brown wire.
The brown wire is fed from the GRAY wire when the ignition switch is in the ON position and from the RED wire when the switch is in the PARK position.
