Topic: what did i just F@4k up

[MMICAFE]

i was putting a new left side switch on my bike and i accidently arced acrossed the fuse panel i looked at all fuses and they are good but no power to any of them then i looked at the fuse under the right side cover and it is broken



where can i get the fuse to replace this i am in desperate need of this tiny part as most of you cb gurus know my bike wont run without this part

[articblue]

could pick up one of the automotive plug fuses and then wire that into the fuse relay instead of using the non-insulated solid fuse that looks like a wrench, found I was having issues because of that on my 83 cb650 along with loose fuses in the fuse box...

just my .02

[MMICAFE]

that would be a good idea but considering everytime i touch something with wire on my bike i #$%* it up and have to spend alot of money or alot of time trying to find it

Just go and get a 30 amp pigtail fuse and holder. Put 1 end under each post and tighten down.

sorry if i sound like a #$%* but where the hell do i get one thats what i am wondering about

Radio Shack comes to mind:


30A 12/24VDC Mini Blade In-Line Fuse Holder

is that a good conversion and how would i go about splicing the wires on the fuse piece from radio shack to the stock part??

Yes that would be a good conversion. 

Best way to splice it in would be to solder it in, but I'm gonna guess here that you aren't familiar with that, so Plan B would be to use a crimp connector, also available in a kit from Radio Shack or Menards/Home Depot/most-hardware-stores.

Nice save guys, that will cure his problem and remove the need to upgrade to a bladed fitted system, hmmm might try this myself as the old solid "spanner" looking fuses are very hard to find these days.

I put one of the pigtail fuses on mine, until I got a new SS that came with an intact fuse.

Don't forget heat shrink.

[Spanner 1]

6 strands out of a lampcord = 30 amps.......if your real cheap ( like me ! ). 1 strand good for 5 amps.

Here in the UK you can find these Spanner Fuses at a number of web based sellers

yeah, I was really happy my new starter solenoid had blade fuses instead of the little 'spanner' type.  they seemed to be unobtanium from anywhere but Honda... and who wants to give them any more money?

[MMICAFE]

s-u-c-c-e-s-s thats the way you spell success. went to radio shack and got the inline blade fuse and holder installed it and everything works perfect will get a picture tomorrow to show location where i put it
