Default Tail lights and Starter problems

I have a new street glide 1000+ miles picked it up 3/03/06 and I love the bike,well I love all HD'S this is my second and I had lots of goodies add to it before I picked it up, 103 Stroker, switch covers and switches chromed, lower forks chromed, diamond cut heads & cylinders, inter primary chrome and more, added a detachable tourpak for those long trips to keep the old lady comfee.
Having some problems and woundering if anyone else has same problems.
1st one is my tail lights keep blowing fuses but not right away only after riding a few hours, I have checked all the wiring that I can get to and it's been back to the dealer three times and it's there now.

2nd after riding the bike and it gets hot it won't start sometimes but not all the time, when I try and start it the starter just clicks sounds like the pinon gear is hitting something, but after it cools down it starts right up or I can push start it if I happen to be on a hill.

But like all ways when I take it back to the dealer the bike starts everytime even after I take it out for a hour to road test it.
