Because I can't take the rear fender off without removing the shock absorbers, and I can't remove the shock absorbers without lifting the bike off the ground to remove the pressure from them.
This is getting to be one hell of a hassle just to follow the tail-light wire to see if the insulation is worn through.
By next Friday, if I don't have an answer, I will probably just take it to a damn shop and tell them to fix it.

If you're sure it's the tail light wiring, just abandon it in place and run new. gotta be easier than disassembling Number 5.
That's the problem - I'm not sure at all. The fuse that keeps popping is for indicator, meter, tail and illumination lights. For all I know it could be a worn wire in the meter assembly, OR, because the previous owner of this bike did a whole fucking shit-ton of aftermarket crap, it could be a wire that shouldn't even be on that fuse.
I don't know.
Slow blow or is it frying as soon as you put power to it? Slow, like a bit after your energize it, is usually a sign of an overload. immedite is a dead short to ground. Fuses are cheap. Pop it out, fire things up and see what doesn't work. That'll tell you what's on that circuit. Toss a fuse in and start at the farthest thing from the fuse block. Disconnect that, fire it up, see if it pops. If it does, leave that disconnected, move upstream, repeat. Once it quits, popping, you've found your bad section. It'll probably take a bit and a handful of fuses, but it's better than chasing your tail trying to find it wthout a wiring diagram.
