    Broke off terminal in stock fuse panel

    Had to pull 30 Amp original fuse from 42 year old bike...so you can guess what happened....

    Quick/easy way to get this to work? Just wanted tobstart to run gas+StaBill through carbs for winter storage...while cranking headlight and meter were off then on then off...pulled side cover and fuse was bad. When i grabbed it gently the one side of prong/holder snapped off clean. See pics.

    I know how to fix it correctly (have new fuse block and all the goodies)....BUT what is the best fast way to fix it so i can ride it a tiny bit and put away for winter?

      same thing I suggested, however it turns out he is not wanting to keep the bike and will leave it up to whoever purchases it to invest in and do the proper fix.

        Buy an in-line fuse holder at an auto parts store. Attached the leads to the fuse block wiring. Soldering the connection is probably best solution. By sure to purchase a fuse. This is a quick and easy solution and should get you rolling. You could use alligator clips and jumper wires without a fuse but it's not my recommendation.
