Electra fuse

Hi Ian,

Here is my solution. I have mounted two blade fuses on a bracket hung from the left hand securing bolt (Tank mount to central channel). FromVehicle Wiring Products.

Space is limited by the gap between central channel and left hand styling panel.

Both fuses are 10amp.

One fuse covers all permanently-on circuits. Typically on the lightweight the rear brake switch and light. You might add horn.

The other covers all other circuits from the battery.

All wiring downstream of the fuses can carry 10 amps safely.

In the event the main fuse blows, I do have a useable spare if I'm prepared to ride without a brake light. Also, only one fuse type needs to be carried as a spare.

If you have been following my article in Real Classic you will know what the switch, in the photo, is about.

Wishing you well.

Peter

I know there's a forum for electrics but I thought I would ask the lightweight group; if you have a fuse in your Electra where have you located it and what size fuse do you use. Now my bikes up and running and I wired it up per the diagram I would like to put a fuse or two in it.

Here's how I fitted the fuse box under the seat of a Jubilee. The fuse box came for free as it was an old one from a scrap Yamaha which I happened to have under the bench. I used 20amp fuses - because they were already in the fuse box.

Don't for get to install a fuse holder that has a spare slot to hold the extra fuse that you will certainly need some time in the future.
