Default new owner fuse help

Hello! I am new to the forum and just bought my first Harley, a 97 1200 Sportster, but got no owners manual. I intend to purchase the maintenance manual but in the interim can some one tell me where the fuses are located? Everything is working right now, but I would hate to have a fuse blow, 10 year old bikes do that sort of thing, and not have a clue where to start looking.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks in advance.

My 1991 doesn't have fuses, it has circuit breakers. Each circuit is self-reseting and will automatically return power to the circuit when the electrical fault is found and corrected.

Remove the triangular cover on the left side of the bike.

I am posting this in case some other new&nbsp\\;owner does a search on this topic.
&nbsp\\;
The fuses are under the seat on a 97 1200.
