I think it would be a lot of work for minimal benefit, actually, unless you are running some monster headlight. And, with our electrical systems, I really don't think we can support a monster headlight.

Update - I replaced 30amp CB and the warmest 15amp CB. Wife rode her '98 Dyna for 100 miles. No issues. Situation normal. Thank you all!

I had a similar problem after I changed my charging system to a 3 phase 40 amp. I found that I put the positive cable on the wrong side of the circuit breaker. When I changed that, everything was fine. In other words, my charging was going thru the breaker, along with running the bikes power, where it should have been a direct connect to the battery.
Just realized the original post is a year and a half old.

The main breaker, between the battery and everything else, located under the seat, is a 30 amp. If you put a 15 amp in there, that could cause problems.
Now, you appear to have some non-standard "accessories" and wiring on there. I suggest, after confirming that the main breaker is a 30, that you disconnect the extra stuff one system at a time and see if that changes your problem. It did not change the circut breaker. Had to allign the cam gears think I did it wrong as I started the bike got a backfire. Tried to start it again started go noise from engine. Think it overheated, fortunately I had backup circuit breakers available. Shut it off had a drink of water. Tryied to start it again and lost electric power. Think I screwed up.
