Stranded - Wouldn't Start

You are going to be much better off going with the one Phil recommended. It is the mini blade version and fits in the same space as your original fuse holder. Easy fix for the fuses that are located there. I used a mini blade inline fuse holder to replace the main fuse on the right side of the bike and just used some solder joints and shrink tubing to secure it in the original holder so that it could be hooked up right back where it is now. Can just as easily be relocated to the six fuse holder that Phil posted. I also found that the small angled slip on connectors gave me more room to work with when connecting all the wires to the fuse block.

The ATC type is the larger standard blade fuse, and there is the mini type...

I get those confused. Thanks for the clarification. I do know the connection box you suggested is the same one that TC bought a supplied for quite a while. It fits nicely in place of the old fuse box with just a small modification to the base to screw down to the original location of the old fuse box.

This is how I attached mine.

The 8 position carries a spare for each.

Thanks for the clarification

Yep, Standard and Mini blade fuses is easiest to remember.

bikerphil - ordered the unit you recommended from DelCity - should be delivered next Tuesday. A little electrical work & problem solved. I'll post a pic once installed. Thanks again!

That's good that you got the correct one.

A gang type box can be made to work, I have my main fuse and voodoo ignition relay fuse in separate holders though...

SOLVED. bikerphil - you win the prize. ONLY after removing and tearing down the starter, solenoid and handlebar button did I bother to properly check the fuse block. Only glanced at it during my initial troubleshooting but should have looked a little closer. "Ignition" 10A fuse blown in dirty, damaged clips. So bike would start but shut off as soon as you quit jumping the solenoid contacts. Do I feel stupid? Bigtime. But my starter got a proper re-greasing of planetary gears and bearings and my solenoid, which you're probably not supposed to take apart, has properly re-soldered connections and cleaned up contacts.I'd like to think it was worth it nonetheless. I can now rely on it to flip the odometer this year, and, oh yeah, get me home. Thanks for everyone's input!

Love it when solution to a problem is found.

bikerphil - the Del City fuse block would have been great - if they had any in stock. Waiting, waiting for delivery - "Oh, it's backordered - we'll send it to you in September". Up here, the season is getting closer to over by then. Most vendors will report stock on hand before you order something. Not blaming you, bikerphil. Seems 'Ol Mr. phallus rocket has something similar - ordered 2 as another bike in the stable would benefit from this upgrade.

The ones you ordered from Amazon will do just fine.

Got my 6 fuse block today - bought two - got a Honda that could use the same treatment; Will post a pic once installed.
