Blade fuse upgrade
03 Mar 2007 08:54
Ordered a couple of the fuse blocks that pstrbrc recommended
here
Wanted to mount it right where the stock fuse box was....so neatly trimmed wiring and soldered and shrink wrapped...
But lo-and-behold...there is a metal bracket that prevents this new block from sliding in nicely....so it has to be trimmed off....
But after that, it goes in nicely and looks nice and tidy...
Itis a very rugged and well-made piece....so they're worth a look if anyone is considering this upgrade.

Nice pics.
I think they should make it a sticky in here about changing over to blades from glass fuses.
That's one of the first things I do every time I go get another bike.

One thing....this is just a hint....RIGHT at the old fuse box...MY wiring was really stiff and brittle. Could work it back and forth and actually have strands break off. So you may wanna trim back to good wire when doing this. Harness "should" be long enough, but measure twice....cut once!
Second box I got will mount to new under-seat splash shield I'm making, and hold spares....
