I bought a durite holder think it was about £10. Holds 6fuses. I think it's a better idea as you can always get blade fuses whilst out riding. Are you going to be covering bare wire ends though

Hi, years ago I fitted a blade fuse box to my tzr350 / yamagamma / and an Rd 250 e . Mainly because if you are out and about and you blow a fuse these are widely available . Sort of made sense to me .

Are you going to be covering bare wire ends though Mmm i can use some vulcanising tape. I wil look more neat if the cover is off. Maybe use some more solder too. But i am not afraid of water in it. I used some vaselin on the fuses for corossion. |

I am a bit dim sometimes, call me Tim if you like but what have you replaced the fuses with? My motor factors and garages here all sell glass ones.

One metal fuse holder was cracked.
Glass fuses can corode and seemed less robust.
The little plastic fuses are easier to take with you as a spare.
Tbh everything was done and i got the time to do it. Main reason was more robustness.

Heat shrink tubing is a neat and easy way to insulate the solder connections during assembly. If you are adding more solder you have an opportunity to slip some on. Use the one with the heat activated glue.

Thank you good idea the shrink tubing. I have got a lot of that.
Did not know there are tubings with glue. Is there a marking on it?

The one I use is popular in the marine industry over here .. I think the brand name is anchor..probably of US origin. Does not specify the internal glue on the label afaik. You would have to do your own research on that bit. The non glue version will provide the same amount of insulation..just not the same level of moisture resistance.
Cheers

It looks better with the shrink tubing. Less prone to vibrations.  May be you noticed an extra fuse. This is for a battery charger. The connector is in the rear end.  |

I can't make out that last picture, is underneath the seat or mudguard area??
Are you plugging in say an Optimate to recharge the bike's battery or using that to recharge a mobile phone whilst riding maybe??

It is a picture from above with the buddy taken of. Hope this helps.
The connector is mainly for “the optimate”. Although charging phone or use tire pump is possible. For gps i have plans to make a connector near the clocks.
