I have the same bike...shes in my signature below, Jezebel. You have a blown tail light fuse...this is indicated by the tail light indicator lamp on the instrument cluster being lit.

With your bike on the center stand or kick stand, turn your handlebars all the way to the right as if you were riding. Look directly under the Left Side near the Triple Tree/Neck...you should see a small 1-1/2" x 3" or so plastic cover...it is held in place by 2 Phillip-headed screws. Take the screws out and pull the cover...it can be a slight pain in the rear. Tour tail light fuse should be the 5th down from the top..it is 10 amp blade fuse...replace it.

If you replace the fuse, the dash indicator lamp should go out. If it blows again, look for a shorted wire somewhere...trace from the tail light back...

Thank you for all of your help guys! Keep in mind, I'm brand new to owning and working on bikes, so please bear with me as I try to figure this out.

I was able to change out the fuse for the brake light,

Ok, lets start right here...I cut the rest of your quoted post because this may be where your problem is. So lets clarify for a second.

Is the Tail Light Indicator on the instrument cluster on, and do you have brake lights when you either squeeze the front brake lever or press the rear brake pedal? If you have brake lights, then by all means the brake light fuse you checked is good. Did you check the Tail Light fuse as well? Was it good?

If you go back and look at the fuse panel and cover picture I posted, you will see that the Brake is also joined by Turn & Horn. If all 3 of these items are working, your fuse there is indeed good. If you have no Tail Light, it is usually 1 of 2 items, either the 10amp fuse is blown, or the filament on the tail light/brake light bulb is burned out. Please recheck the fuse panel...pull that 10amp fuse marked METER TAIL...I would almost bet a hole in a donut that that fuse is blown....

Ok. Seems we are all now in agreement...you will need to start checking wiring and connections. Taking the front seat off will help, so here how to do this.

1) Take the passenger seat off if you have one. This is done by using the ignition key...and the Helmet Lock on the right side rear under the passenger seat bottom. Insert the key and turn clockwise I believe to release the lock mechanism for the rear seat...it can be a bit sticky.

2) Once the rear seat is off, looking straight down the back of the drivers rear seat edge, you should see (2) two flange nuts sticking up in front of the plastic storage compartment..these are 10mm heads...remove them. Now the rear of the seat will lift clear of the bolt ends, then pull rearward and the front portion of the seat will come free of the factory hold down in rear of the fuel tank.

I have attached 2 images below...1 is Helmet Lock/Passenger Seat Release and the other is a pic of where the driver seat slips under the rear section of the fuel tank/frame. Unfortunately, I dont have a good picture of Jezebels seat off and rear fender shown...
