      Was going to order tires ,chain and rear sprocket from Motorcycle Superstore but I went to the local guy http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&...Tik8rK8vTRBGow and can get it all locally for about the same price without the hassles.

          I'd cut it off and rivet a new terminal on or replace the complete buss bar.

                          You've probably annealed the brass to the point it doesn't have much tension left to maintain a strong pressure against the fuse. Keep an eye on it and have a spare terminal lying around just in case it fails.

                            Seems to have lots of tension.But I was going to keep an eye on it anyway.Put the fuse back in.No problems,at least so far.

                              Greg, why not just replace it with a blade style fuse block?

                                A reason familiar to both of us,no $$.Or I'm committing the money to the "big" ticket items of a chain and tires.Going to see how much a blade type is.


                                Pity is the one I have here is mounted so differently.Hmmmm i just didn't want to mod the panel,but looking at it now I'm going "why not?".
