Every time I use the directional signal it blows the fuse. I have replaced the wiring for the rear tail light and directionals as well as replaced the bulb sockets all the way around. Still blowing the fuse. I have ordered a replacement relay for the directional signals and hopefully this will correct the issue. Nevertheless, short of dismantling the steering head to remove the forks to see if there is a short iin the wiring I hope this will fix the issue. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
You forgot to say whether this happens on one specific side, or both. Knowing that information narrows the search area.
• If BOTH sides, then the short is between the fuse and the handlebar switch.
• If one side, then the short is between handlebar switch and the bulbs on that side only.
Here's a simplified schematic to help....

Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
Check relay socket wiring. I saw one with flasher out wired to ground.
