Default Electrical Problems

I installed the Competition werks fender eliminator and also some new flushmounts for the front turn signals. Problem is after about an hour of running the bike the fuse blows and then of course all my turn signals and running lights turn off (not to mention my HUD display and my horn). This of course makes it a lil bit of a scary ride when ur doin between 90 and 100 over a bridge and oops there goes ur gauges and u cant even honk ur horn at somebody cause the fuse is blown. Anybody out there have any idea. Ive checked the wires and cant find a spot where it is stripped or something to cause a short. Allready blew my back right running light. Do i need a bigger fuse or something?
O and these are the turn signals i bought for the front in case ur wondering.

try checking the soilder joint where the hot wire is attached to the connector for the tip of the bulb sometimes they strip the wire to long leaving a small amont of bare wire to get up against the groung housing of the bulb you will have to take the light assembly apatr to check this hope this helps

Thanks hobbs. I kinda realized how much work that was gonna take after workin on it for a couple hours and decided to go the easy route...no freakin lights! Maybe a lil crazy drivin it for a min but im just gonna get one of them integrated led brake lights cause im tired of takin off the tail end all the time. I mean if the bulbs blew within a week of runnin with them i think its a sign that says its time to move on to somethin else.
