Angry RoadGlide Problem

Having a problem with my 00 SERG, and hoping some1 here can help me out. Started out with a loose ground connection at the battery, however not loose enough to really notice, and when I put the charger on it, sparks flew from the neg post. After i tightened the cable up, the bike started fine , however I now have no lights. Figured it was just a fuse, from when it sparked up, and sure enough the fuse was gone. After replacing it, turned on the ignition and the fuse blew again immediately.
Thinking maybe I had a short in 1 of the bulbs or something I started checking, could find nothing so I started eliminating lights. Unplugged power to all rear lites and pulled the fairing off and disconnected headlites. Also popped bulbs outta front signal lites. Tried a new fuse and same thing, blew rite away. Now I'm at a stand still, not sure where to look next. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance...Redd

You are on the right track, keep diggin".

Pull the tank and look for a pinch, re-test.

Unplug the bars from the harness, re-test.

Inspect all fairing wiring, guages have lights....
