78 cb750. The speedometer and tachometer lights will not come on. Running lights will come on in park but not run. There is continuity between all the wires. Meters have 12v at connector in headlight bucket but not at ignition switch. The top fuse that controls all of these lights does not have voltage. Where does the power feed into the fuse?

All connections have been cleaned and are tight, new bulbs in everything, tried new ignition switch with same results, tried 3 different fuses that are all good.
 
Both those small meter bulbs ground through one of the green ground wires in headlight shell. There are also power supply black wires in the shell, plugged into one of the BLACK receiver plugs is a light blue hashed with (looks like) white that carries power up to the 5 amp taillight fuse in your fuse group, then that wire at the fuse goes to your speedo, tach lights for power to them. You read that right, the wire colors are not the same at that plug-in point.
 
I plugged the brown and white meter wire directly into the black power supply. For the running lights I ran a new wire from the black power in the headlight to the rear blinkers. It's not by the book but it's working for now
