Do you have a removable tour pack? Are the lights causing the problem on the tour pack? Is it the running lights on the fender? All running lights? Which fuse/s are blowing? If its a straight up one light. Trace the light back. Check the wiring from light to area it terminates. Most often it's the socket or chaffed wire. But not a given. Good luck.

tour pack would be an add on. most likely the wires that run inside the wheel well have been hit by the tire, wires shorted out
