Angry 91 heritage electrical ghosts

I went for a ride and after about a mile at a slow cruise the bike cut out on me. I turned off the start switch and back on and it continued running. My signals didnt work and it kept shutting off then back on again. After I coasted home I shut it off and with everyhing off I heard a clicking noise every 3 seconds. Found that the 30amp fuse next to the starter relay was ticking. I talked to the HD dealer and they suggested checking the ignition switch. It was old so I replaced it and that fixed my turn signal problem. I also replaced the fuse and the relay since they were original. But the fuse continues to click and the starter wont crank all the way. I need some help here people. Everyone I know is stumped. I cant afford to replace everything so please help a brother out.

Default Problem Solved!!!

Pulled both tanks and got to the wiring and there were a few wires there that had wore thru the insulation. Fixed all and verything works fine now.
