Have you ever bottomed out? Assuming the wires are in the same place and my 06 SG, I bottomed out causing all the rubber coating to be removed from the wires for the rear of the bike (running, brake, and blinker wires). HD's great idea was to run the wires along the top center of the rear fender making it inevitable to hit them upon bottom out. I had to drop rear swingarm down to get under there, fix wires, then I reran them along the side of the fender so I never have the problem again. My symptoms were sporadic light/blinker actions and blowing fuses. Bad part is you must drop swing arm to even see in there...... Good luck!
