Yeah, they are just regular breakers. "They say" the best ones are from NAPA.

Funny you should ask. I just replaced the 6 breakers on my '86 FXRD last night, five 15amp and one 30 amp. They are standard two pole, auto resetting breakers. I believe the one's I got were Bussman. I cleaned and wire brushed all the contacts and terminals real well. So for less than $30 I have good piece of mind that I won't get stranded by something as simple as a $5 part.

Seems like more and more dealers don't want anything to do with older bikes. I see it as this guys not going to spend anything or get a new bike so he isn't a repeat customer, so poor service.

Yep everytime i go in the place im hit up with "why dont we put you on a new 1". Maybe because i dont want a new 1 or i would have did that in the 1st place? This is for a recall that should have been completed already because i bought the bike used from them 2 years ago. ****blood boiling****

The old timers tell me it's pretty much always been that way. After about so many years it's, "trade up or get out".
