What's this green cable for? ...and..
« on: June 09, 2015, 02:38:57 PM »
Does anyone know where I can get an original fuse holder and that other rubber cable thing that's worn out on this image?

Hondaman makes a replacement fuse holder.  www.SOHC4shop.com

isnt that an extra ground for a three-wire flasher?

Brake light is fine. Sorry for not doing my homework before posting. The Button under the horn does nothing. Is that passing light/high beam?

Maybe just dirt on wire. May be solid green? maybe verify for sure...

 Button under the horn button is the turn signal beep silencer. 72 bike?  You can use a blade fuse, cb750.com has a single fuse holder, on mine the rubber is so soft it won't hold the fuse properly so it just hangs there hardening while I use a blade fuse.

I think Honda has original fuse holders too. DSS, I'm sure too.
