 where do you guys buy fuses for your bike? Not the blade type that you can find at any auto parts store

[domer]

Advance Auto and Autozone both have a wide selection on their racks. Appear to be good quality - not expensive. Likely, other auto parts stores have 'em, too.

Make sure you get the 1 inch width.

Which fuses are you looking for?
 The 1/4 x one inch length are fairly easy to find.   The 5 x 20mm length is much harder these days?  Putting the one inch length in a 20mm holder is not recommended and can lead to problems.
Get the slowest acting fuse you can for the 15 A position.

I stand corrected. Thank you two tired. I have 4 sizes in the garage and I am using 20mm.
What do you think of cycling breakers to replace the fuses?

[TwoTired]

I like breakers.
I must say I still have some original fuses in my 30+ year old bikes, though.
Just saying.

 I'm trying to find the kind that are original to my 73 750, and they are hard to find so far.

Take an old one to a Farm & Fleet or a tractor supply.  I did a search for 20mm fuses and you can order them on line!

 thank you zzPete! I just ordered 200 15 A fuses, which should keep my bike and a few of my friends here, bikes humming for the next 10 years. Let me know if you need a few and I'll stick some in the mail to you! Vern

[zzpete]

Hey thanks Vern! I would like a couple. Is there any little part you ever need let me know. I'll PM you my address!
