I'm not sure what else is on that circuit besides the instrument lights that you switched? If that's all that's wired to that fuse and they stay on, you're probably OK. I suspect however there is more.
I changed from bulbs behind my warning lights to LEDs on my '96 Trophy because I couldn't see them when the sun was shining from behind me. Mostly, it was the turn signal lights that bothered me. But I switched them all to LED without any problem.

I know that the instrument lights such as speedometer and tach are hooked up to the brake light because I blew a fuse a little while ago but I wanted to be safe and not start a fire and ruined my bike, cause like iI said I had the stock 10a fuse moved up to a 15 that blew and moved up to a 20a and it stayed on.... thanks for the help...
You ruined your bike????

Oh no, I didn't want to ruin my bike in case the leds are to much for the fuse and cause wires to get hot
I think you should email or get in touch with the company that made the LEDs you installed.
Normally, LEDs need a resistor installed along with them unless they are specifically made to run on a 12 volt system.
