Great.but will the fuse box cover snap on with them installed? Not much clearance there!!!MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Thanks jeep rusty!
But I had not thought of Chuck's point. but a cover would be easier to fabricate than a new fuse block. At least in my opinion.Comment

I am sure they will swivel down and fold on top of each other to some degree..but how much is what I am wondering here.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

1981 GS750L - Owned since 1990 when graduated high school and since have been discovering all the things not disclosed by seller.
1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be niceComment

If you want blade fuses just install a fuse box from a newer gs. I put a gs1100 fuse box in my gs1000 and it was pretty straight forward. Plus you get a nice accessory hook up point also.1978 Gs1085 compliments of Popy Yosh, Bandit 1200 wheels and front end, VM33 Smoothbores, Yosh exhaust, braced frame, ported polished head :cool:
1983 Gs1100ESD, rebuild finished! Body paintwork happening winter 2017:D
I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.Comment

Maybe he wants to keep everything as original as he can. Would you cut a good OEM fuse panel out of a skunk or a Cooley..or anything else that you want to keep as original as possible? I wouldn't.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

That is part of it.
The other aspect is , it would be easier to plug in fuses than figuring out how to connect a different fuse box.Comment

why add two more connections, just use glass fusesComment
