I would suggest that you have a short. If you're blowing fuses, it's 99% of the time because of a shorted wire, which might mean the wire insulated has gotten rubbed off and is contacting the frame, thereby grounding out the live.

It could even be as simple as near the battery post...I would at least pop off the seat and check that area really good. If nothing seems obvious, you'll need to start tracking down wires. Focus on visible areas where there are bundles cable-tied to the frame, but has some hand-shiftable movement. That could quickly reveal a rubbed wire.
