20 amp main circuit breaker in a sealed pouch up from the battery on the harness.Plus there is a 10 amp under the front panel for the fan. Hopefully it melted this main breaker and voltage didn't get to the cdi. You can replace it at any auto supply and should at least give you power to the ignition switch lights,etc. Just slice the pouch open and you'll find a small square breaker like this.

All depends on condition. Blue Book prices are just a guide line. May be worth more,may be worth less. Some people that buy machines with intent on selling can make money off them,others can loose money when all is said and done. Kelley Blue Book

You can check NADA under motorcycles too. They say it's not worth much. New Car Prices and Used Car Book Values - NADAguides
