    fuse box

    anyone converted their fuse box to spade type fuses? they are more readily available here in the UK and should make for a smaller compact fuse box

        I've seen a couple on here do it and post with pic's and details, but searching is not bringing them to the light of day currently...

        Replacing my single inline glass fuse with a single inline blade fuse won't help you either...

          AZR this is how I did mine changing from a single in-line fuse to the 6-fuse panel. If you have any questions just ask?

            Same here. If you can find my 81 550T in Co Sprgs thread than you'll get some info from that.

              Agemax, I used a fusebox from an 82 GS1100 which is spade type.
              The conversion was pretty easy and these can be had for cheap too

                        Nicely done! But you may want to mount it and plug it in before trying to use it

                          that could be a good plan. just got to elongate the mounting holes a bit and it will bolt right on to the original mount holes

                              top mod i reckon for ?10, keeping the original plug too. still toying with fitting a new plug and brand new spade connectors, then i know all connections will be like new
