Hi Texas: Finally founded a similar fuse holder locally, will install it once I find place with an electricity plug to connect the soldering device. :-)

Cheers,

 

The air horn and the battery tender that I installed on my bike both came with that style of fuse holder. It should work fine.

Like I said before the one I put on my bike was overkill. I saw it as added insurance.

Any electronic shop should have the female spade connector that will work but if you want the one that locks the female spade connector into the connector block it is part #9937 at your local dealer.

To get the existing connector out use a jewlers screwdriver.

 

Hi!

I guess won't be needing that extra connector if I follow the instructions, the wire comming from the battery would be soldered directly to the wire that feeds #30 post at the relay... Am I right?

"Cut the #30 wire on the relay, tape it off, then run a fused wire from the battery + post direct to the #30 relay"

Just finished the wire's end that goes to the battery. For installing it on the bike, I'll have to wait until I find somewhere to do it, can't up the bike home :-)

 

Looks good.

You are correct that if you attach the fuse holder to the existing wire coming from the relay it will work. The reason I didn't do that is that for me it was easier to make the jumper up complete at my work desk and then just install it on the bike.

Just to let you know I had to add some wire to my fuse holder to get it to reach from the battery post to the starter relay. I added about 6 inches of wire.

What does "can't up the bike home" mean?

 

Oh! Can I ask how did you do the jumper? That would be the solution for me, as I haven't electricity available near the bike. But if it's better soldering, I preffer to wait until I can do it properly..
Will add extra cable to the wire, was counting on it as it's rather short.

@ What does "can't up the bike home" mean?
Translated joke, sounded weird I guess hehe, meant that I can not put the bike inside the house in order to be able to solder XD Sorry for my english :-)

 

Jumper -- Soldered a ring connector on one end (just like you did), added about 6 inches of wire, then I soldered on a female spade connector to the other end of the connector. (You have to get one without the colored plastic on it) (Can be found at your local electronics store.)

Then I used a jeweler's screwdriver to depress the locking tab on the existing spade connector to get it out of the connecting block. (you have to go in from the relay side)

Take the connector block off the relay, push the wire into the block and hold it in place while you depress the tab then pull the wire and connector out of the connector block.
(At this point if you wish you can cut the existing connector and a couple inches of wire off the wiring harness and then solder that onto your jumper wire.)

 

Thanks, Texas, that sounds like the cleanest possible connection.

So to confirm that I got it right: you extract the spade connector from original #30 wire out of the block and replace it by inserting the new spade connector from the wire comming from the battery..

Regarding your last paragraph I haven't it very clear, as you mention soldering.. Wouldn't be ok just to tape off the old #30 wire with thermoretractile covering and forget about it?

Ok! All as planned then, thank you, Texas! Will install it as soon as I have oportunity these days (can't wait!)

Cheers,

 

Can you not find a 12 volt soldering iron? How 'bout a butane pen torch with soldering tips. I have both of those and they both are quite handy when electricity isn't available.
