Electrical Issue / Trouble shooting

Hello,

I need some help.
I bought this 850 triple last season and ran great, the only thing the previous owner said was that he changed out the fuse box for blade fuses. So I am prepping for this season and the seat is off, I turn her on hit the starter and one of the fuses literally starts to glow. I hear a loud pop and smoke starts comming out from under the gas tank. The headlight blew as did the fuse(eventually) now she won´t start. What component did I fry ?

Thank you
