Default Ignition fuse keeps blowing

Problem : I'll be cruising along and then the engine just cuts off and I have to replace the ignition fuse. It's kinda scary when im going 50mph+. Ive gone through a small box of 15amp fuses trying to solve the problem. I searched real quick on another board and they said it could be a wire touching the frame, but I wanted to see if any of you had any ideas.

I can't terrorize the streets of NOVA with the knowledge that at any moment my ignition fuse is gonna pop.

BONUS PICS of the bitch at home.

I'd say it's definitely a short. Is there any exposed wiring? Does it only happen while moving or has it popped while stationary? If moving it definitely sounds like a wire touching something it shouldn't.

It has blown while stationary and while riding. I'm gonna go look over the wiring in a bit.

It could be a recommendation rather than a statement.
