One small question. Are the blade type fuses any more prone to loosening than the old glass fuse spring holders?

Yes, blade type are less prone to loosening than glass type, hence the switch on most new applications.

Hondaman, Great idea.

However, I was hoping you would market your Center Stand "Assist" thingy first.

That garage floor is sooo slick! Of course, your "block of wood" idea is still working!

It's coming: the trick is to make it inexpensive enough to be practical. They're easy to make for $100, but no one would want one!  :o

I'm still anxiously interested in the Center Stand "Assist". I was hoping it could be done for something in the $55 to $70 range. I'm betting lots of folks will buy it when you're ready!

Looks like you're onto something great with your blade-type fuseholder. Sounds like "the cat's whiskers"! It might be applicable to many bikes other than SOHC4's.

Good luck, Hondaman

It should. Honda didn't change these blocks very much over time.

Include me in if they are waterproof and not too expensive.


haha so putting your fuse block in a plastic zip-lock bag doesn't make it "waterproof" does it  :-\

It might fit the 550 as well: I don't have a 550 block on hand to see if the bolt holes are the same dimensions (someone else know for sure?).

I've just measured mine. It's from a CB550F with three "active" fuses and two spares.

Dimensions are in milimeters:

I'd love one, as long as you could provide me with a place to buy the connector for the bike harness.  I need to rewire my '72 750K2 anyway so it would be nice to have part of the work done (not like there won't still be a lot with adding relays and stuff).

Ok,

I could do that.  Just hate the 39+ year old wiring and its "single" fuse (I already added a second circuit).  Had the power lead to the tail light break somewhere, but no clue where.
