Main fuse keeps blowing, bike has been sitting in garage for 20 years.
I think it's caused by this really corroded clip
Anyone have any idea what this wiring clip goes to ? I have no experience working on motorcycles at all so anything helps

There are two 6 pin connectors on an 80 in that area. One is for the tci, ignition black box, found under the battery. The other is for the regulator rectifier, you can see it's fins on the frame backbone.
Make sure you have them plugged into the right units the wire colors will match up on both sides of the connectors

Thank you!!!!! I will look again when I have the time
 
I think it's the connector from your alternator, and from the looks of your last pic, it's shot. The plastic housing is broken and it's packed with corrosion. I think you need to replace the plastic connectors and all the metal crimps.
