Two pole resetting breakers are very common and can be accessed at any auto. electrical shop for much less than half of what the dealer will charge you . Just be sure to provide what amp. capability you require . Usual rating is 30 amp. resetting type.

Add on ... bring the old breakers with you when purchasing just to be sure.
You can also add a bit of insurance by fusing before the breakers . Most Harley stator failures are apperantly caused by shorted wiring at the grommets . Properly sized weatherproof inline fuses between the stator and regulator should save a shorted stator wiring grommet.
See forums re: this .

Havent done this yet but check for earlier post in the last month re; this.
Poster dosent give a lot of tech. info. but the idea seems solid to me .
Any safety type of weatherproof short blow fusing , fusible link or breakers etc. installed before the regulator should prevent the dreaded stator fryup which is caused " in my own opinion " by shorting at the wire outlet grommet .
Makes sense to me !

Add on ... Im new to Harleys and it looks to me like a weatherproof box is needed to house the extra stuff or run wires to a better weatherproof location .?
Again ... still believe stators are ok for many years if not shorted out with a bad grommet etc.
