There is only one fuse. If original holder....the fuse is in a plastic/nylon capsule that just snaps open. If you are seeing two fuses in what might use to be just a clear vinyl 'pocket wrap' hanging on a wire....those are probably spares. What year is the bike?

Looking over this may be a good pre-project also.

Yea you guys are right, those were just wire connectors. Today I bought a box of 15A fuses, new fuel lines as my old ones were cracked, and new plugs. My old plugs were oil fouled. So I was looking and I can't seem to find a fuse box... Is it possible my bike doesn't have them? I'm gonna go take a look up towards the coils but so far I can't seem to find them. My other question is, since I was wanting to change the oil tank to pump line I was wondering what thickness of tube it should be? The previous owner had it going from 1/4 at the tank and switching to 1/8 towards the pump... Is this right?

A wiring diagram will show you where to install a fuse if there is not one. A modern blade type (weather resistant type) if you wish. The fuse being missing/bypassed may turn up some more electrical problems. Do you have a service manual with the wiring diagram in it? I have a wiring diagram right here at my fingertips I can post, as others do, but I just want to know if you have one and have looked at it. If I were you, I would concentrate on getting power, fire to each plug at the right time for right now and forget about all that other stuff. You are starting to get 'all over the place'..... easy enough thing to happen when enthusiastic about something. Thoughtful step by step thinking and procedures will work wonders for you. Good Luck

Qingdao, what skyreep1 has is a previous repair by previous owner/owners, which is fine, that particular hose is just a gravity fed supply line from the oil tank to pump. The original hose has been discontinued for a long time. The used ones show up often on ebay and I have bought a couple and one given to me from our late member 'Blue'. I also have a brand new one (NOS) that came from the other side of the world, but I just stash that one in addition to the spare # 2 and #3 hoses I have (NOS)
