Wiring internal now?
Extended the wiring for longer bars?
If so, you definately shorted out the wires.

nope\\; I was going to wire them internal &amp\\; started to take the tank off, but decided against it now. So I just bolted the tank up &amp\\; left them external.&nbsp\\; I didnt have to lengthen the wiring because I went w/ knuckle bars.

I have a 2000 softail deuce.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;I keep blowing the accessory fuse,&nbsp\\; Plus the bike won't start now, it turns over just won't start.&nbsp\\; The only thing that I have done lately is replace the rear tire.
