Default Main fuse removal
I'm trying the remove the plastic cover that houses the main fuse in the 2016 Low Rider but just pulling the tabs on each side is not working. Is the a trick to this thing? I'm installing new handlebars and read that removing the main fuse is recommended as a preventive measure.

What does it say in the owners manual?

It says where it is and it shows the diagram but that tittle plastic cover from hell is not referenced at all. By the way, I got the manual a couple of weeks ago and might be the single must important purchase I've made for the bike. (except in this case).

All you have to do is press in the connector tab on the bottom of the fuse box, it should rotate off just fine.

If you can't figure it out, you could always disconnect the battery on the other side. The battery box comes off with just 1 screw.

Not the service manual, the Owner's Manual. I didn't get one with my used bike, but usually the OM details fuse replacement pretty good. I can't help directly as my bike doesn't have the same covers. Mine are held on with screws.

Only the battery side (that says Low Rider) is held on with a screw.

The fuse panel side does not have a screw...it has a plastic tab on the underside of the cover.

On a '99 there are 4 screws holding the electronics cover in place.

The main cover is off, no problem, is this guys that's giving me hell. No information on how to remove it on owner or service manual.
