If I turn the switch to the run position and put 12 volts to the starter it starts and I can cut the grass.

Yes it is. It is an electro-magnetic device that 'grabs' your blade pulley, that normally free wheels, to turn your blades when there's power to it. Dwain

The headlight switch has a rheostat built into it to dim your dash lights, it may have shorted out. As soon as you turn on the switch this rheostat comes into play and is probably whats blowing the fuse. I think if you replace the headlight switch, it will solve your problems.

has it got an immobiliser / if so there is a fault there. If not an ignition switch itself.

I'm assuming that you put the 12 volts directly to the connector on the starter solenoid.
To answer your question, there is a starter relay. It's a one inch plastic cube type device usually located under the seat but I can't say for sure. Seems since 2000, Harley moves stuff around every year now and I can't keep up with them.
You starter has no fuse in the line. The cables that run your starter motor come directly from the battery. Only the starter CONTROL circuitry has a fuse. The wires running from your starter switch to the starter relay, to the starter solenoid are the control wires. Now, you solenoid may be pulling too much current and causing the fuse to blow. I'd rule out everything else before I'd consider the solenoid. The only way to change that is a new starter and they aren't cheap.
Good luck

Hi,
Check all of the wiring to the switch and the PTO clutch. You may have a
wire that is either rubbing on the frame and shorting out or the two
wires are rubbing together and shorting out...you have stated that you have checked the wires, but make sure to untape everything and check all parts of the wiring...
If all of the wiring looks to be in good shape and there are no scraps
or scuffs, then the PTO Clutch is going bad and the magnetic clutch is
either shorting or pulling too much current to engage it.... it will
need to be replaced... not an easy project most of the time.
These clutches often do fail, and because of the heat of the engine and such they are usually very hard to remove. Make sure to have a good puller before you even think of trying to get it off of the shaft.
Bottom line is that it seems as though the problem is probably the electric clutch...
