Need wiring help
Hey guys need some wiring help here. Over the winter I chopped my rear fender thus Leaving me to remove the brake light that was on the fender.
Now not only do I not have any rear marker lights but my headlight and forward markers aren't working. I checked the fuses and found the light fuse was blown. I replaced it but soon as you turn on the key it blows the fuse.
So my questions are
What is causing my fuse to blow?
How do I wire my rear signals up with the brake light being removed? Can I use the old circuit board to make something work or? Kinda lost here.

Not sure what you mean by a modulator?
Fuses usually blow from a short in a wire... a hot wire touching a ground.
Sounds like a time to re-visit all wires, looking for one that is bare.
For your rear blinkers, are you trying to get them to also operate as tail and brake lights?
What year and model sporty?

The internet is a dangerous place! If your bike was working fine before you started work, then it can work properly again. You do not need a modulator, fix your electrical problem before doing anything else. As Kevin suggests your most likely problem is a damaged wire - probably to the rear lights.
