Answer
Matt,

-if your front signals are on then the fuse is okay.

-Fuse holder is located near the battery, possibly above
or to the rear of it.

-Have you checked the bulbs, sockets and wiring
to the rear flashers?

-also check the black ground wires, it may be
a bad ground connection.

-the chocolate and dark green wires are the power
wires to the rear signals, they should have
power when you turn on the signal switch.
The black wires go to a good ground like
the battery negative or bike frame.

-use a test light or multimeter and see if power
is getting to the rear flasher wires.
If it is, check the ground wires, bulb sockets etc.
