Default couple of electrical problems

2001 FLSTSCI
First problem started soon after 50k checkup, state inspection and front tire change.
Guage/accessory fuse blows when I get to 68/69 MPH, this is consistant.
result: speedo, Odometer, horn, brake and turn lights don't work. Security system still works.
(it's a pain to change the fuses)

2nd prob:
After the bike starts, the red light on the speedometer stays on for about 20 secs.
and, after the bike has warmed up, and when downshifting, when I come off the throttle between gears
the engine quits. I can prevent this by keeping the revs up a bit between gears.
The bike will start right back up.
I was looking through the forum for this last problem and it sure sounds like it may be related to the
speed sensor.

Any suggestions, especially on the first one?

how soon after the 50,000 mi.check !! If it was just a day or a few days,the dealer may have something to do with it.Considered taking it back in and bringing it to their attention??

Had the same problem on my RoadGlide you have with no.2. Was on vacation when it started acting up. Took it to York (Laugerman's) and it ended up being a sensor.

Got both problems fixed.
The fuse blowing at 68 MPH was self inflicted. I remembered that I tried to fix an open front fender light wire.
The wire was so corroded that the fix added resistance to the circuit. I guess with everthing on and the bike at the
right speed, the current draw was too much and no more fuse. Anyway, I took the bike in for the stalling problem:
they replaced the fender light wire, and the intake seals.
Both problems solved.
