I purchased this bike used from a friend. The bike seemed to have some electrical issues because every time I would ride, one out of the 3 fuses would blow, losing power to the tail light and headlight. The main fuse never blew. Just one of the 3 others. I though it was caused by the rinky dink, 2 wire taillight. So I replaced that with a tail from lowbrowcustoms. Everything is connected correctly. Now, everytime I start the bike the same fuse blows. The ground from this fuse goes to the wiring harness, that is attached to watever box that is on the side of the battery (regulator rectifier). The other wire is a red and white wire that leads up to the little clylinder where the spark plug comes from (I believe it is the ignition coil). Sorry I am new to fixing motorcycles. You can see in the picture that I am holding the fuse that keeps blowing. Most of the wiring is pretty much a huge mess, and I am not sure where to start. Most of the wires are sodered together pretty good. But a lot of wires go from 2 to 1. HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. IF SO WHAT WILL FIX IT. Thanks guys!
