After unplugging the rectifier/reg it still blows. So it's safe to assume its an exposed wire thats grounding out somewhere? Thanks

Hmmm it's more like replace fuse, turn on ignition - and then the fuse instantly blows. kinda tearing my hair out over this.

I recently started having problems with my bike when the main fuse blew, so nothing was getting power. I though it was the battery so I ended up getting a new battery.

Will do - Thanks

Interested in see this. Keep us posted! In response to the headlight bucket issue: I know that it's not the best idea to mess with a stock charging system, but I really need to save the power. I'm running a new battery (put in by the previous owner) so the voltage on that sucker is good. The...

Thanks!

Excellent, I appreciate the help.
