The fit was perfect. I opted to install the female connection Mark sent along as my main hot was a bit frail and had some corrosion. I used some dielectric grease to aid in getting the male/female connection to mate. You will not have to worry about it coming unconnected. It is a tight fit. Thanks Mark.

Nice job, Johnie!
It's always great to see my kids out having fun somewhere.  ;D

Mine looks almost the same Johnie! I installed it yesterday and took it for a ride - works for me ;)

Only thing Id mention is the 2 8mm bolts that hold it on are hidden behind those orange wires at the side - so require bending them out the way. Not a huge thing but I was concerned about "breaking" the contact point. But its very well made so probably no fear of that! Second small point - I used my original connector from the harness and noticed there is no latch on the Hondaman module to mate with the original. But as Johnie said its a tight fit and probably wont come apart. However it reminds me of the F2 plastic connectors at the ignition that do come apart and so for peace of mind Ill add a cable tie to hold them together.

Aside from these 2 very very small points its a great thing to upgrade to! Anyone who wants to upgrade to car fuses easily and with no fuss should buy this!

thanks Hondaman!
cheers
Andy

I looked everywhere for those clip-type connectors and discovered they were discontinued about 8 years ago, replaced by the ones I'm now using. You've got the right idea, Andy, with the Ty-wrap, if you think your installation might pull apart. That was why I decided to send out the mating one that could also be installed on the harness, because these new ones have longer, deeper blades on them to keep a good grip. There are some new clip-together ones available, but they are not rated for more than 12 amps, which is the peak current in the 750 (13 amps, actually). The ones I picked are rated to about 16 amps, which none of these bikes can even make. So, I went "clip-less" this time.  :D

Hondaman

Is going "clipless" anything like going "topless"?

Probably not!

just got mine in the mail. the unit looks very well made. i am going to throw it on my bike this evening after work, and will post the results when i can. ive been worrying about those glass fuses for a while. this will make maintenance a lot easier and will reduce my worries substantially.

thanks for the fast shipping!

Got mine as well.  Mounted it up on the bike last night in a matter of 15 minutes.  And it only took my THAT long because I went ahead and switched out the male connector for the new one that was furnished in the kit.  THANKS!  ;D
